If during an interview a candidate was asked about their views on Brexit would this be a problem legally?
The scenario being proposed is that a supporter of Brexit clearly lacks the commercial vision and intellect to hold the post being interviewed for.
The Equality Act 2010 covers religious belief.

That article talks about philosophical beliefs, and many people may consider their irrational hatred of the EU a philosophy of sorts. But it doesn't seem to really settle it. And also being a (presumably) trade union funded unfair dismissal tribunal it still doesn't match discrimination at interview.
I suppose the question is whether it's a fair and legal question at interview?
And this isn't general so please stick to the legal question.
