Devon swings to Remain, says Channel 4 mega-poll – time for local politicians to catch up
The biggest poll ever undertaken of attitudes to Brexit estimates that, whereas the majority of voters in 6 out of 8 Devon districts backed Leave in 2016, now the situation is reversed – only 2 out of 8 still have majorities for Brexit.
East Devon still shows a narrow Leave majority, but 4 districts have seen Leave majorities overturned.
