More voters in Great Britain rate leaving the EU as a priority ahead of maintaining the Union with Northern Ireland, a poll has suggested. More than a third of those polled (36%) said exiting the European Union was a higher priority than keeping Northern Ireland within the UK. Of those surveyed, 29% said retaining Northern Ireland within the UK was more important than Brexit. The YouGov poll, commissioned by radio station LBC, did not survey voters within Northern Ireland. The survey was carried out amid ongoing uncertainty over how the Irish border will be handled in the final Brexit agreement.
