調(diào)查顯示 約260萬支持脫歐者改變立場

More than 2.6 million people have abandoned their support for Brexit and now back staying in the EU, a major study has concluded.

一項大型研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，超過260萬人放棄了對于英國脫歐的支持，如今重又支持留在歐盟。

If the huge number of Britons who have changed their mind had voted to stay in the EU in 2016, the referendum would have delivered a clear Remain verdict.

如果這些改變立場的英國人2016年投票時支持留在歐盟，那么公投結(jié)果無疑是“留歐”。

The data will add to the debate about whether the country now needs a new referendum, with millions having second thoughts about their Leave vote amid growing fears about Britain crashing out of the EU without a deal.

鑒于如今有數(shù)百萬人因愈發(fā)擔(dān)心英國可能無協(xié)議脫離歐盟而對自己當(dāng)初的脫歐立場有所改變，這一數(shù)據(jù)將加劇有關(guān)英國目前是否需要進行一次新公投的討論。

The study was carried out by data analysis experts Focaldata for pro-EU campaign group Best for Britain.

這項研究是親歐盟組織“Best for Britain”委托數(shù)據(jù)分析專業(yè)公司Focaldata展開的。

In total, it concluded that 2.6 million Leave voters have switched their support to Remain, while 970,000 have moved the other way -- a net gain for the pro-EU side of 1.6 million.

總體來說，該研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，260萬投下脫歐票的人已經(jīng)改變心意支持留歐，但也有97萬人從留歐改為支持脫歐，因此親歐一方大約增加了160萬人。

Labour MP Owen Smith, who backs the Best for Britain campaign, said: "This new data confirms that Britain is changing its mind about Brexit and Labour voters are leading the change."

支持“對英國最有利”的工黨議員歐文·史密斯表示：“最新數(shù)據(jù)證實英國人對脫歐已經(jīng)改變想法，而工黨支持者正在引導(dǎo)這項改變。”

Of the 262 Labour-voting constituencies, 161 currently support a new referendum, while a further 55 are expected to switch in the coming months.

在262個工黨選區(qū)當(dāng)中，有161個選區(qū)支持舉行一次新的公投，另有55個選區(qū)預(yù)計在接下來的幾個月中也會改變立場。

In total, 69 Labour constituencies have moved to Remain, while just three have switched to Leave.

整體而言，有69個工黨選區(qū)改為了支持留歐，僅有3個選區(qū)改為了支持脫歐。
