Strange one this.

Should England be an independent country? (Asked of voters in England)

Yes 35%
No 65%

Tory 2019 voters 49/51
Leave voters 56/44

I don't think it's strange, shows the the stereotype "brexiteer little englander"

Do we have the actual wording of the question? That I'd like to see.

So presumably the majority of the electorate in Wales are Stereotypical ' Brexiteer Little Englanders' judging by your sneering criteria and the result of the referendum in Wales.

No. And I haven’t suggested so.

But it’s no surprise there’s a cross over between the we want our country Brexit brigade and the we don’t want anything to do with Wales/Scotland is there?

As I said further up I’d be interested in the wording and context of the question.

shame that Yes only got 49% of Tory voters; if they'd done a couple of percent higher then all of the "unionism for thee but not for me" jokes would be coming out. Perhaps its something that the so-called party of the union ought to have a think about anyway: half of their English voters apparently want the union to go away.

This question hasn't been asked very often, but IIRC the previous occasions didn't produce hugely different results.
