WARRINGTON – which voted to leave Europe in the 2016 referendum – has changed its mind, according to the latest research.
The split two years ago was 54.3 per cent in favour of leaving and 45.7 per cent of remaining.
But now, according to the “We want the final say” campaign, 51.06 per cent of the population of Warrington North are in favour of remaining compared with 41.4 per cent in 2016 while in Warrington South, 57.16 now want to remain, compared with 49.4 in 2016.
In Warrington North, 66.4 per cent would support a “People’s Vote” – a second referendum while in Warrington South 66.7 per cent would support a second referendum.
The figures have been released ahead of an event outside Warrington Town Hall tomorrow (Saturday) at 11.30am organised by “We want the final say” – a partnership by Hope Not Hate and Best for Britain, both organisations which are calling for a second referendum.
Andy Loynes, regional organiser for the We want the final Say campaign, said local councillors and activists would be attending and a “Ditch the Deal” digital advan would be there before it set out on a tour of the town to spread the word that the deal is bad for Warrington and its workers.

That’s strange, I don’t seem to have been asked my opinion since the referendum. Seems somebody is assuming I’ve changed my mind which I haven’t.
It’s becoming more and more apparent when you speak to people that no one wants the deal on offer, and slowly the realisation is dawning that the promises made by the leave campaign were fake. Brexit would mean less money, not more for the NHS, we already have control of our borders and migration is something the government already can control – the more people find out about Brexit, the less they want it.
What utter nonsense to claim that WARRINGTON has changed its mind about Brexit. Here we go again with Remainer’s wishful thinking! We had a oeople’s Vote 2 years ago and there has been no official vote since. The whole of my large family, some of whom were remainers, now want to leave more than ever. This is a remainer establishment making a holy mess of it to frustrate a hard brexit. That says nothing about the will of the people however much they tantrum over it.
I thought the same too KEVINS as nobody has asked me either.
Thinking maybe I’d just been missed out I asked all my friends, family and work colleagues too and not one person said they had been asked by this “We want the final say” campaign group. In addition none of us have ever heard of them.
I do wish campaigners would use ACTUAL numbers rather that % figures too. It’s a little bugbear of mine as unless they state the ACTUAL number of people asked then a % value means nothing. They could have asked 25 people or 250,000. It’s like the adverts for some skin care products on the TV which say along the likes of “95% of women who tested it agree that that they saw improvements in wrinkles”….then in small print “20 people tested/surveyed”
I’m rambling……and I’m becoming as boring as never ending Brexit twaddle… yawn lol
Graham you assuming an awful lot. I have not been asked and no one I know has. I don’t know anyone who has changed their minds. Please don’t patronize us by telling we were lied to. BOTH sides exaggerated , most people were sensible enough to see the facts. As for our borders, how exactly do we have control whilst in the EU, and where are we going to built the city the size of Birmingham every 3 teaes just to house New arrivals. There’s no housing crisis, more an over population problem.
This paper & it’s reporters are ridiculously biased
What are they basing their facts on?
As others have stated nobody, has asked me or friends & neighbours.
Nobody has knocked on our doors or sent any mail.
This biased scaremongering is having a serious adverse effect as it is backing up Everything the leavers are saying about the remainers.
They are elites, corrupt &self serving well off people ignoring what the working man has to say when we are the ones living with the day to day effects of EU rules/ laws.
