Weighted to reflect the population, 62% chose to rejoin, 35% to stay out while 3% were unsure or offering no opinion.

In the original 2016 referendum, the UK-wide result narrowly passed Brexit by 51.89%. At the time in north, 56% of voters had chosen to remain with 44% choosing to leave.

I feel like brexit should have required a 60% majority. It's changed things so drastically for people living there, a simple majority seems like there were a bunch if rich people just hoping enough propaganda tipped the scales in their favor.

You know who was a fan of two-thirds majority vote? Nigel Farage was, of course only until the very moment Leavers were at 52 vs 48.
