Last month, the Prime Minister gave the EU until October 15th to secure a post-Brexit trade deal with the UK.
If a pact was agreed, it would have allowed time for both parliaments to ratify an agreement before the end of the transition period in December.
But the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier appeared to snub the PM's October 15th deadline when he vowed to work on a trade deal over the "coming days and weeks”.
An Express.co.uk poll asked whether the Prime Minister should walk away from talks.
The poll received a staggering 13,052 votes with 98 percent (12,685) ordering the Prime Minister quit the negotiations.
Just two percent (327) said no while only 40 said they didn’t know.
One reader said: “The EU are deliberately dragging out negotiations both to see if the UK will start making concessions as they now know the UK does not want to leave without an FTA and also to see if a change in US Presidency with its possible implications for a UK-US trade deal will happen in early November.”
A second person said the EU will not take the UK “seriously” until we walk away.
They said: “The EU will not take us seriously until we do what we say and walk away they might then wake up.
“If you say it you have got to mean it and you have got to do it.”
A third said Britain must not give “in to their dominating and bullying antics”.
They said: “Boris might as well walk away now as at the end of the month and save a bit of time that can be used to prepare ourselves.
