More than a quarter of us would vote for a party that promised to keep Britain IN the European Union .

And the “stop Brexit” party would come second in a general election - pushing Labour down to third place.

That’s the finding of a new survery by polling company YouGov.

It found that 25.9 per cent of voters would back a hypothetical Stop Brexit party.

And this would mean it beat Labour and UKIP .

But the Conservatives, who are committed to making Brexit a reality following June’s referendum, would still come top - with 34.1 per cent of the vote.

The finding could provide a boost to the Liberal Democrats, which are positioning themselves as the only major party willing to consider reversing the Brexit decision.

And it echoes the result of the recent by-election in Witney, Oxfordshire, where the Lib Dems jumped from fourth place to second following a campaign designed to appeal to Remain voters.

Labour fell to third place, despite coming second in the seat in 2015. However, the Tories held on to Witney, where former Prime Minister David Cameron used to be the local MP.

Meanwhile, West Midlands mayor candidate Sion Simon has insisted the region needs its own voice in Brexit talks as the Government negotiates with other EU countries.

Prime Minister Theresa May has promised that the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will have a voice.

Mr Simon, Labour’s candidate in next year’s mayoral election, said: “To get the best West Midlands deal from Brexit, we know we can’t rely on a government that has no national plan for leaving the EU - let alone any real care for our unique concerns.

“We need our own voice in the process. A strong West Midlands Mayor to speak up for our particular regional interests.

“Manufacturing, exports to China, relations with India, the higher education sector, translational medicine - these are some of the things that matter to the West Midlands economy.

“But they will not be priorities in the Brexit negotiations for Tory Ministers in London; we know that. Whereas I will make sure that the West Midlands voice is heard.”

Earlier this year, Mr Simon wrote to Mrs May calling on the government to hold talks with regional candidates for West Midlands Mayor.
