The pro-Brexit majority which voted to leave the EU nine years ago has “literally died out”, according to a polling expert.

Peter Kellner, who founded YouGov and sat as its president until 2016 – the year of the Brexit referendum – predicted that there’s most likely a majority of 8 million now in favour of rejoining the bloc.

Writing for the New European, he pointed out that 1.3 million more voters backed Leave compared to those who supported Remain in the referendum.

Since then more than six million Brits have died, Kellner said.

Considering the turnout among older voters was higher than average and that 64% of over-65s backed Brexit, he said it is safe to assume 3.2 million pro-Leave voters have died in the last nine years, compared to 1.8 million Remainers.

Kellner said: “This means that among people who are alive today and who voted in the 2016 referendum, Remainers exceed Leavers by 14.3 to 14.2 million.”

In addition, the pollster pointed out that the six million young people who have reached voting age since 2016 are more likely to be pro-EU.
