Supplementary notes

The questions were originally worded by the source as follows:

Currently British citizens have the right to live and work in other EU countries and EU citizens have the right to come and live and work in Britain. Do you support or oppose these rules?

Would you support or oppose Britain having similar freedom of movement rules with the United States, so British citizens would have the right to live and work in the USA and US citizens would have the right to come and live and work in Britain?

Would you support or oppose Britain having similar freedom of movement rules with Canada, New Zealand and Australia, so British citizens would have the right to live and work in Canada, New Zealand and Australia and their citizens would have the right to come and live and work in Britain?
