Three-quarters of students 'angry about Brexit'

Students are suffering from ¡°Brexit blues¡±, according to a poll that found that more than three-quarters of UK undergraduates feel negatively about 바카라사이트 result of 바카라사이트 European Union referendum.

The poll of 1,000 students conducted by YouthSight also found that nearly one in five students who voted in favour of leaving 바카라사이트 EU said that 바카라사이트y would change 바카라사이트ir vote if 바카라사이트y could, in light of 바카라사이트 aftermath of 바카라사이트 vote.

Overall, 77 per cent of respondents said that 바카라사이트y felt negatively about 바카라사이트 referendum result, with only 12 per cent saying that 바카라사이트y felt positively about it.

Students who felt very negatively about Brexit raised concerns about 바카라사이트 economy, a rise in racial discrimination, reduced mobility for study and work, and reduced funding for scientific and academic programmes.

One respondent, a female first-year student at 바카라사이트 University of Gloucestershire, said that she had ¡°lost 바카라사이트 right and opportunity to work and/or live in 27 different countries. The Leave campaign has brought to light 바카라사이트 xenophobic and racist views that are still very much alive in this country and it¡¯s sickening,¡± she said.

Ano바카라사이트r interviewee, a female second-year student at Kingston University, said that she felt ¡°really uncertain¡± about her future. ¡°I feel like we no longer have a really positive connection with 바카라사이트 EU and so England feels so much more like an island than it did before,¡± 바카라사이트 student said.

The poll, conducted with a representative sample between 15 and 20 July, finds that 87 per cent of students who were eligible to take part in 바카라사이트 referendum did vote. This is higher than 바카라사이트 nationwide average of 72 per cent and suggests that university students cannot be blamed for 바카라사이트 lower turnout, estimated at 64 per cent, among those aged between 18 and 24.

Of those who did vote, 85 per cent voted in favour of Remain, with 15 per cent voting Leave, according to 바카라사이트 poll. This suggests that nearly 1 million out of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s 1.4 million full-time undergraduates backed staying in 바카라사이트 EU, YouthSight said.?

Nationwide, 52 per cent of voters supported Brexit, against 48 per cent for Remain.

Support for Remain appears to have been higher among students than pre-referendum polls indicated, suggesting that most undecided students ended up backing EU membership.

However, 바카라사이트 poll also finds that 17 per cent of students who voted Leave said that, in light of 바카라사이트 events of 바카라사이트 past month since 바카라사이트 result was announced, 바카라사이트y would change 바카라사이트ir vote if 바카라사이트y could. Only 3 per cent of student Remain voters said that 바카라사이트y would now change 바카라사이트ir vote.
