Close to half of British adults were opposed to the suggestion of forcing through a no-deal Brexit by 'proroguing' Parliament according to an opinion poll taken shortly the UK government announced it's intention to do just that on August 28, 2019. The idea of preventing MPs from voting against a no-deal Brexit by formally ending the Parliamentary session shortly before the Brexit deadline in October 2019 was brought forward by some candidates for the leadership of the UK's Conservative Party. Among Remain voters, 73 percent were opposed to prorogation, whereas 51 percent of Leave voters supported the idea.
