Channel 4 is set to air a live studio discussion on Brexit, following an exclusive survey of 20,000 British residents that will reveal what the nation really thinks about the issue.
Brexit: What the Nation Really Thinks, airing Monday 5th November at 8pm, will be hosted by Krishnan Guru-Murthy in Birmingham, Britain's most evenly split city in the 2016 Referendum.

Two years after the nation narrowly voted to leave the European Union, we remain divided. The deadline for the final exit deal is imminent, with disagreements over the Irish border issue and hundreds of thousands of marchers in London recently calling for a second referendum – a so-called 'People's Vote'.
Channel 4 will reveal the results of the largest independent survey on public opinion on Brexit since the referendum, as Guru-Murthy unpicks the results and interviews polling expert Sir John Curtice and various politicians from across the political spectrum. There'll also be some input from the live studio audience.
The independent pollsters, Survation, have spoken to 20,000 people from every constituency in Britain.
