RIGHT-WING voters will decide whether or not Britain remains in the EU because they feel better informed than those on the left, according to a poll published yesterday.

The Electoral Reform Society’s researchers found that almost half of all voters feel poorly or very poorly informed about the EU referendum. 

The Morning Star’s analysis of the figures shows left-wing and working-class voters are most likely to be in the dark about the poll on June 23. 

The statistics show that 26 per cent of rightwingers feel “well informed” compared with just 16 per cent of left-wingers. 

Some 36 per cent of right-wing voters also feel poorly informed about the debate over Britain’s future in the EU, but that rose to 44 per cent among leftwingers. 

There is a similar disparity when it comes to class, with people in the ABC1 (middle-class) groups more likely to report that they know about issues surrounding the debate than people in the C2DE (working-class) groups.

Electoral Reform Society chief executive Kate Ghose warned: “We know that there is a clear link between how well-informed people feel and their likelihood to vote.”

She said the findings should act as a “wake-up call” to both campaigns and called for a more “vibrant debate” over the next four months. 

The society has called for the Remain and Leave camps to commit to TV debates and a special “ceasefire week,” in which both sides make only the positive case for their position. 

“Let’s take the conversation beyond Westminster and Fleet Street to communities across the UK,” Ms Ghose urged.
