Brexit confusion: 1 in 6 people think Brexit would see them BANNED from Europe holidays

A SHOCKING one in six people believe they would be BANNED from holidaying in Europe if Britain votes to leave the European Union on June 23.

With just over two weeks to go until the country decides our future in the EU, confusion among British voters has been unmasked in a sensational new poll.

Worryingly, of the people who mistakenly thought that the European borders would be closed in the event of Brexit, 88 per cent are voting to remain.

Meanwhile, one in 10 people said they felt they were going to be treated badly by those living in other EU countries if Britain decides to unshackle itself from Brussels.

The survey also revealed confusion among Britons who are concerned their holidays could become more expensive to Europe if the UK leaves the EU.

Sixty-one per cent of respondents said they believed it would be more costly, while 39 per cent said they thought it would be cheaper.

But Vote Leave campaigners have brushed off David Cameron’s scaremongering and say there is no evidence that holiday costs will rise in the event of Brexit.

With claim and counter claims, lies and disputed statistics, it’s no surprise more than half, 52 per cent, of people admitted to feeling “confused” about what leaving or staying in the EU meant for Britons.

The survey was carried out by online travel agency www.sunshine.co.uk who spoke to 2,126 people aged over 18.

Chris Clarkson, managing director of the travel agency, said: "Despite the constant talk of what would and wouldn't happen if Britons voted to leave or stay in the EU, people are still clearly confused as to what either decision would mean for us.

“I’d hope that I can, at the very least, reassure people that a Brexit wouldn't mean that other EU countries shut their borders to us for holidays, but as yet it's hard to say how it could impact travel costs. 

“There's a lot that's yet to be determined."
