Britons sceptical on government Brexit strategy

Only 16% of Britons think the government is doing well on delivering Brexit while another 16% think Britain will end up not leaving the European Union, according to a new poll published on Friday.A majority of those surveyed (50%) thought the government, which has revealed virtually nothing on its strategy so far, was doing badly on Brexit, the online YouGov poll for The Times newspaper found. That included 22% who thought the government had been doing "very badly" since the shock June referendum to leave.Prime Minister Theresa May has said only that she will not invoke Article 50 -- the start of the formal exit procedure -- before the end of the year and that she wants to curb immigration from the EU.Asked whether Britain would end up leaving the bloc, 67% of the 1,658 respondents said it would, 16% said it would not and 16% said they did not know.Among people who voted to stay in the EU, 20% thought Britain would not leave the EU.Asked about May's performance more than two months in the job after she took over from David Cameron, 46% thought she was doing well overall.But only 32% said that she was likeable.Foreign minister Boris Johnson, once seen as the most likely choice for prime minister and a key voice in the Brexit campaign, had only 29% approval.Another poll by YouGov with 3,887 respondents found that 1% of Britons have applied for citizenship of another country as a result of the Brexit vote and 12% have considered it.
