British voters have their say on Brexit 10 years later

  • Leading pollster Professor Sir John Curtice states there has been a "decisive and consistent shift away from Brexit" since the 2016 referendum.
  • Voters now widely perceive Brexit as a "big disappointment" and "not worth it," leading to a rise in support for rejoining the European Union.
  • The decision to leave the EU is largely blamed for negative impacts on immigration and the economy.
  • Contrary to expectations, immigration from non-EU countries has sharply increased, which voters attribute to Brexit.
  • Claims of Britain regaining sovereignty and global influence post-Brexit are largely seen as unfulfilled, with support for remaining outside the EU significantly lower than in 2016.
