Labour Business Member Survey June 2019: The Brexit Impasse

• Members continue to support a clear ’Remain’ policy for Labour.
• Staying in the EU has consistently been the option that is seen as best for businesses, communities and employees.
• Among the different processes available to break the impasse, the most favoured process is to simply revoke Article 50 before the October 31st deadline. This is consistent with many businesses seeking an end to uncertainty and is seen as the fastest way to protect our place in the EU.
• The other two processes which are also appealing are a members ballot where Labour commits to the outcome and a two-way referendum where the choice is between a Brexit option vs Remain.
• The least favoured option is leaving without a deal or Labour attempting to negotiate a different Brexit deal with the EU.
