  From the independent.
  
  
  A survey of 1,481 people by BMG claims every group under the age of 55 also wants the chance to decide the terms of Britain’s exit from the bloc – something the prime minister has categorically ruled out. Overall, when asked about the possibility of a referendum should a Brexit deal be reached between Britain and the EU, 48 per cent said they would support a public vote while 24 per cent would be opposed and 11 per cent said they did not know.
  
  The survey suggested that just one in seven voters (14 per cent) would back the prime minister’s Chequers plan for Britain’s withdrawal from the EU if given the chance at a referendum, while 27 per cent said they believed the UK should leave with no deal and 43 per cent would back remaining inside the bloc. It also found that if Ms May fails to secure a deal that her ministers can agree to later this year, nearly half (49 per cent) of respondents believed she should be replaced as prime minister.
  
  A majority – 52 per cent – said that if this scenario played out then a general election should be held with the Conservatives’ new leader. Just under a third (28 per cent) said she should be replaced without a vote while 20 per cent said they did not know.
  
  But respondents were divided on whether the 2016 referendum result gave the prime minister a mandate to leave the EU without a deal, with 34 per cent believing it did and 36 per cent suggesting it did not.
