@cdarwin@c.imNearly half of British voters want another EU referendum in the next five years,
And less than a third would back Brexit in a new vote.
Research by More in Common for the Sunday Times reveals public attitudes towards Europe have shifted over the past decade.
The poll of more than 2,000 people found 29% would vote to leave the EU if the Brexit vote was repeated, compared to 52% in the referendum in June 2016.
