This is the latest Yougov polls results for the EU and the Lisbon treaty taken in Britain in June. Very interesting.

It shows just how unpopular the EU is here. Almost two thirds want to withdraw or just become a free trade area. But on the other hand it is slightly more favourable than another poll I've seen where it was over two thirds.

Will the bastards ever let the British people speak?

But of course its just the media:roll:.
 
I don't see this as surprising at all. Over the past decade Britain has been drawn much closer to the US than the EU. This, coupled with the fact that British people identify much less as European than those on the continent, makes the poll make perfect sense.
 

Oh I expected it as well and I'm very glad of it.
