A UK paper has found that 50 percent of Brits would support another vote on the final terms of a Brexit deal. The poll comes ahead of Monday’s crunch meeting between UK PM Theresa May and the EU’s Jean-Claude Juncker. With British Prime Minister Theresa May set to hold make-or break talks with European officials on Monday over the terms of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, a weekend poll has found that half of British voters would support another vote on the final terms of a Brexit deal. More than 1,000 people were surveyed as part of the poll on Thursday and Friday, just after unconfirmed reports of a deal on the divorce bill began to surface in the British press. When asked why the UK was paying so much, the most popular response was because “the EU wants to punish us.”Mike Smithson, an election analyst and former Liberal Democrat lawmaker, said it was “the first time any pollster has recorded backing” for a second Brexit referendum.”
