Polls carried out in the UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway showed that the only countries with a majority who now want to see Britain leave were France and the UK, at 38% and 47% respectively.
A total of 32% of French people polled in the YouGov survey would prefer the UK stayed in, while 30% said they ‘don’t know’.
Out of those French people wanting Brexit to go ahead 46% want it to happen ‘immediately’ and 50% only after negotiations are complete (compared to 48% and 47% respectively among British leavers).
If Britain announced Brexit was being called off, the most common reaction by the French would be indifference (23%).
The country with the most people opposed to Brexit is Denmark where 62% want the UK to stay and only 18% want it to leave.
The pollsters spoke to 1,729 people in the UK and 1,031 in France.
