Politico: Tory members prepared to break up party, United Kingdom for Brexit

Asked whether they would rather stay in the EU if Brexit would lead to Scotland or Northern Ireland breaking away from the U.K., 63 percent and 59 percent of party members (respectively) said they would prefer the United Kingdom break up. [...]

There's only one thing most Tory members couldn't stomach in their pursuit of Brexit: A Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn. Fifty-one percent said they'd rather stay in the bloc than allow the Labour leader to move into No. 10 Downing Street, though 39 percent said it was a price they were willing to pay.

Just over half of Tory members said they thought Britain remaining in the EU would damage their party so much it would never lead the country again, while 52 percent said leaving the bloc would mean victory for their party at the next election.
