Nearly a third of Leave voters believe Britain’s intelligence agency MI5 is in cahoots with the Government to stop Britain leaving the European Union, according to a new poll.
The poll, by YouGov for LBC, also found 28 per cent of all voters believe Thursday’s referendum is rigged. A total of 64 per cent of Ukip supporters thought it was likely the referendum would be rigged, compared with just 16 per cent from the party who thought such an idea was “probably false”.
In total, 21 per cent of those surveyed believed MI5 was working with the UK government to try and stop Britain leaving the EU. Around 40 per cent said this was “probably false” while 39 per cent opted for “don’t know”.
When broken down by political party, 30 per cent of those who voted Ukip at the 2015 general election thought this to be the case, closely followed by Labour voters on 22 per cent.
The extraordinary findings, appear to demonstrate an alarming lack of trust in the Government’s conduct in the EU referendum campaign.
