LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party has opened up a 14 percentage point lead over the opposition Labour Party as Johnson’s tougher stance on Brexit wins back supporters, according to a poll published on Wednesday.
Johnson, a Brexiteer who won the premiership a month ago, has vowed to lead the United Kingdom out of the European Union on Oct. 31 with or without a deal. His predecessor, Theresa May, delayed Brexit after failing to ratify a divorce deal. The poll showed 15% would vote for the Liberal Democrats, unchanged since May, 5% for the Brexit Party, down from 10% in May, and 5% for the Scottish National Party, unchanged.“We have a new Conservative prime minister who has taken a very clear stance on handling the Brexit negotiation and Brexit itself and that messaging seems to be cutting through to the public,” he added.
“Boris Johnson has taken a hard stance on Brexit and that message cuts across what the Brexit Party and UKIP are saying so it looks like his stance is reducing their vote,” Watkins said.
