Brexit Mess Scares Finns Away From EU Referendum Many Had Sought

Britain’s decision to quit the European Union was all it took to terrify Finnish voters, with more than two-thirds now affirming their loyalty to the bloc.

A poll published on Thursday indicates a stunning shift in sentiment in Finland, the Nordic region’s only euro member. The Iltalehti poll shows that 69 percent of Finns don’t want a British style in-out vote. And if a referendum on EU membership were held, 68 percent would vote to stay.
