<p>Opinion polls on Tuesday showed a clear lead for the camp in favour of Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU) in the June 23 referendum.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The ‘Brexit’ side edged ahead in a key survey just over a week before Britain votes on its future within the 28-nation economic bloc next Thursday.<br /><br />A YouGov survey for The Times puts “Leave” on 46%, up three points since the end of last week, and “Remain” is on 39%, down three — giving Brexit its largest lead since the start of the campaign. As many as 11% of people do not know how they will vote and 4% plan to abstain.<br /><br />An ICM poll for The Guardian on Monday gave the Brexit campaign a six-point lead, with Leave on 53% and Remain on 47%, while an ORB poll for The Daily Telegraph has put “Leave” on 49% among those certain to vote on June 23, one point ahead of Remain at 48%. According to TNS online poll published on Tuesday, 47% of likely voters said they will opt to leave the EU, compared to 40% who want to stay. John Mills, chair of the Labour Leave campaign, said, “The polls are swinging our way, which is very good news but we must not be complacent.”<br /><br />Leading Labour MPs within the “Remain” camp, including Keith Vaz, issued a fresh plea of their own to Indian-origin and other ethnic minority voters. <br /><br />“The Leavers’ false claim is that, if we leave, there can be higher non-EU immigration while bringing down overall numbers. Let’s not be seduced by this lie from people who are anti-immigration and who have spent their lives campaigning against the interests of working people,” they wrote in the Guardian on Tuesday.<br /></p>
