About these data

Full question: This week MPs voted on a range of alternative options to the prime minister’s Brexit plan, to indicate which one had the most support. Now we would like to show you a summary of each motion and ask you whether you think MPs should have voted for or against each motion. The ‘Customs Union’ motion: This motion states that the UK should negotiate to stay within a permanent customs union with the EU. This would avoid any custom checks at the borders (e.g. at Dover and the Irish border) but would also mean that the UK would have to agree to European customs arrangements and could not strike any of its own trade deals after leaving the EU.

All questions relevant to this website that were asked on the same poll:

• Do you approve or disapprove of the way Theresa May has handled the process of the UK exiting the EU?
• Do you approve or disapprove of the way that Jeremy Corbyn has responded to the government’s handling of Brexit?
• Now that the House of Commons has voted against Theresa May’s Brexit deal for a second time, which of the following options for the Brexit process do you think should happen next?
• If there was a referendum tomorrow with the option of accepting the government’s Brexit agreement or remaining in the EU, which would you support?
• What do you think the government should do ahead of March 29th/April 12th/October 30th – the date upon which Britain is currently on course to leave the EU regardless of whether a deal is in place according to Article 50?
• If the House of Commons cannot agree on a deal do you think we should leave with ‘no deal’ or delay Article 50 and hold a public vote on what to do next?
• Choosing from the following outcomes, do you think it is most likely that Britain leaves the EU this year with a deal, leaves without a deal, leaves in 2020 or later, or does not leave at all?

• Do you think Theresa May would be right or wrong to resign so someone else can lead the second phase of the Brexit negotiations?
• Would you rather that Theresa May resigned once the Withdrawal agreement has been passed, or that she continued as PM and led the second phase of the negotiations before resigning, or that she continued as PM and led the Conservatives into the next general election?
