On behalf of Open Europe, YouGov polled 1,000 people overnight and found the following results: 54% agreed with the statement that "The government should drop the Lisbon Treaty and not try and ratify it". Just 14% agreed that "The government should carry on and ratify the Lisbon Treaty in the UK". Labour voters are 46% to 19% against continuing ratification of the Treaty. 29% said that "The UK should stay in the EU". 38% said that "The UK should stay in the single market but pull out of the other political elements of the EU". 24% said "The UK should leave the EU altogether". 65% agreed with the statement "The EU is out of touch with normal people". 88% said they could not name any of their MEPs. Among those who did attempt to name some of their MEPs, the most popular choice was "Neil Kinnock". http://conservativehome.blogs.com/torydiary/2008/06/only-29-of-brit.html
