A poll run by First News has revealed that kids in Britain want to stay in the EU!

2,650 kids took part in the poll that was on the First News’ Website and on iHub Classroom and a whopping 77% don’t want Brexit to happen!

After the votes had been counted, 2,041 kids wanted to stay and only 609 voters wanted to carry on with the plan that on the 29th March we will leave the EU.

First News first ran a poll back in 2016 and the result was that 71% wanted to stay. It looks like 6% of voters have changed their mind.

I asked some people what they thought about Brexit and if they wanted to leave or stay:

“I want to stay because this decision is going to affect our future and results have clearly shown that more kids want to stay.” said Maddy.

“I think another referendum is in order because the results were so close last time and some people didn’t know what Brexit entailed. Now it’s been fully explained some people could potentially vote differently.” says Freya.

“I think staying would be a good idea because we have been in the EU for almost 50 years and yes we have to abide by the rules of the EU but there are so many positives of staying.” says Jack.

“I want to leave because other countries in the EU are giving less money to the EU and they are getting more money back from the EU.  England is putting in billions of pounds and getting less back.” says Jason.

It’s difficult to say what’s going to happen but we are still scheduled to leave on the 29th March.
