A complete failure: Voters offer damning verdict on PM's Europe deal

A complete failure: Voters offer damning verdict on PM's Europe deal with three-quarters claiming migration will not change as a result of his reforms - and could even increase
Migration from within the EU is adding 180,000 to the UK's population

Six in ten voters polled last weekend claimed this figure was far too high
One in five people claimed migration will increase after PM's Europe deal
Most of those polled were questioned before Boris Johnson's decision

Voters have declared David Cameron’s EU referendum deal an overwhelming flop when it comes to curbing mass immigration.
In an exclusive Daily Mail poll, three-quarters of the public say the Prime Minister’s so-called ‘emergency brake’ on tax credits and his curbs on the payment of child benefit to EU workers will either fail to reduce migration – or could even allow it rise further.
The poll also shows that, among those groups most passionate about voting in the referendum, the contest is now neck and neck.



Almost 70 per cent of people polled said they were passionate about the issue of Britain's EU membership

Currently, migration from within the EU is adding 180,000 to our population every year – a figure six in ten voters say is too high.
The verdict on the PM’s reforms was given by voters over the weekend, as Mr Cameron took to the TV screens to declare his renegotiation a huge triumph that would make Britain ‘safer’ and ‘more secure’.
He claimed he had done better on securing measures to control immigration than most had expected.
But a majority of voters said levels of immigration to Britain and the strength of British democracy will be better off if the country leaves the EU than if it remains.

Some 21 per cent say net migration from the EU will increase in the wake of the deal, while 53 per cent said it would not change – a total of 74 per cent. Only 22 per cent feel it will decrease.
Overall, the Remain lead over the Leave camp has fallen by six points since the last ComRes/Daily Mail poll in January. Some 51 per cent now say they would vote for Britain to stay inside the EU. Some 39 per cent would vote to leave.
Most people were questioned before London Mayor Boris Johnson joined the Out camp, electrifying the contest.
The poll also asked how passionate people were about the referendum. Of those who said they were very passionate – and therefore most likely to vote – the contest was neck-and-neck. Remain is on 48 per cent only one point ahead of Leave on 47.



Three quarters of those polled said politicians should campaign on the basis of the views of their constituents




Fewer than half of voters felt that Mr Cameron had got a good deal overall in last week’s negotiations. Some 45 per cent said he had succeeded and 42 per cent that he had failed. Some 13 per cent did not know. More than a fifth said the PM had failed to a ‘great extent’.
The public also rejected his instruction to MPs that they should ignore the views of their constituency parties when deciding which side to take in the referendum. An overwhelming 74 per cent said MPs should base their decision on the views of their constituents compared to only 5 per cent who said their party leadership.
The public was also scathing about his decision to gag Eurosceptic ministers until his renegotiation was complete – 61 per cent said the gag was ‘wrong’.
The findings on immigration came as a report by the Migrationwatch think-tank said the emergency brake will have ‘little or no effect’ on net EU migration. It said many of those who had arrived in the past four years had only a limited entitlement to in-work benefits, so the brake would be ‘very unlikely to act as a deterrent’.

Considering that the latest polls show that 94% of the British people want to remain IN the EU, this article is simply full of lies and untruths.

Anyone who vote to leave the EU is a traitor. Borders are human constructs and they should not even exist in the 21st century.

All the polls I have seen in a WIDE VARIETY of places have shown leave winning. But the point of this 'story' isto get people on this page to increase value of advertising space.

Do you remember voting for European Parliament president Martin Schulz??? I don't remember voting for him? Oh that's right we didn't...The EU is a shadowy, undemocratic organisation and we need out of this madness.Cameron is nothing more than a spineless career politician. We don't need to be a part of this German led union. Canada and Australia are small countries by population but don't feel the need to join a group and let other countries govern their affairs. Britain is a bigger player in the world we should aspire to better things and make our country great as it was in the past. We are better than Europe, Always have been always will be.

Top mrs Cameroon and other 'In' fighters ... What "Migrants will still continue as we will still have to allow free movement of workers. Even Boris admitted that" really means ... people will be free to come to UK fort a job. But a free UK will be able to decide what name of benefits can and cannot be sent abroad ... and this movement is for workers. Not residency. So if no work they'll have to leave! So playing on words to confuse!!!

Think of your children or grandchildren futures ruined by mass migration. The only way is to vote out to save their futures.

We are told by bosses that jobs will go? But jobs are already being taken from us by the those arriving daily. Schools cannot cope, more languages have to be accounted for and lessons must be affected. In a decades time migrants will have added more generations as well as the families joining them. They need housing, they need the NHS they need schools and they need jobs...so who pays for all this.?..the taxpayers of course. Bosses of big companies are just thinking money, they have less worries about schooling for their own children and waiting for months for operations, they just go private and can afford it. I want a Britain back, the one which was fought over and people lost lives to protect. We now grovel to the very country who we were at war with and beg for permission for everything we challenge. Our elderly are unable to get better care as money has run out....but money is available for the newly arrived to have a roof over their heads and many other benefits. Britain Back!

I believe something like 3 million jobs are taken in this country by Europeans so if we're going to lose jobs then there's 3 million to spare. What the big bosses are really afraid of is in many cases having to pay at least a minimum wage which they're failing to do with people who can't speak English and complain
