Young people have expressed their anger over Theresa May’s Brexit strategy, a new study has found.
The poll, conducted by the New College of the Humanities, found that over 70 per cent of 18-34 year olds thought the Government should put all negotiating options on the table, before triggering Article 50 in March.
The study, which surveyed 1,000 young people, comes as Theresa May set out a Brexit strategy which means quitting the European customs union and single market.
Mrs May set out a twelve point plan for negotiating Brexit on Tuesday and said the deal would be put to a vote in both houses of Parliament.
But the study found that young people wanted more transparency and greater discussion surrounding Britain’s Brexit strategy.
The poll also found that 66 per cent of young people felt British and European, while 60 per cent said they were worried about Brexit’s economic fallout.
Almost 70 per cent said they believed the EU had strongly contributed to peace in Europe.
It is thought that more than 70 per cent of young voters chose to remain in the European Union in last year’s referendum.
A C Grayling, Professor and Master at New College of the Humanities, said: “We know from our research that Brexit is a concern for students.
"They should know that NCH takes a strong view in underlining that the UK is and remains open to students from all backgrounds and nationalities, and that we take this pledge very seriously.”
