WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than half of Britons have agreed to withdraw from the European Union (Brexit) "by any means," a poll showed on Monday, while US national security adviser John Bolton confirmed his country's support for Brexit without an agreement if that was London's decision.
A poll conducted by the Kommers Foundation showed that 54% of those who participated in it said they agree with the following statement: "Prime Minister Boris Johnson needs to implement the withdrawal by any means, including suspension of the work of parliament if necessary to prevent deputies prevent it."
Of the 1,645 respondents polled in the Daily Telegraph newspaper on Monday, 46 percent were opposed.
Johnson has already promised to lead Britain to withdraw by October 31, regardless of whether he can secure an exit deal with the European Union, although many in parliament oppose the idea of an exit without an agreement.
On the other hand, Johnson discussed with Bolton in London yesterday about Brexit, Iran and China, and Johnson spoke by telephone with US President Donald Trump.
After the talks, Bolton told reporters that the United States would enthusiastically support an exit without an EU deal if that was the British government's decision.
