Majority of Britons disappointed by Brexit, according to ECFR poll

The European Council on Foreign Relations poll found 52% would now vote to rejoin, with younger voters most supportive.

  • On Sunday, the European Council on Foreign Relations released a poll finding 57 per cent of Britons believe the United Kingdom was 'wrong to leave' the European Union, with 52 per cent supporting rejoin in a referendum.
  • The data followed a National Rejoin March in London on Saturday where 1,500 campaigners marked the 10-year Brexit referendum anniversary, with protesters including scientists citing personal losses and trade ramifications.
  • Survey respondents cited significant economic consequences, with 66 per cent stating Brexit worsened shopping and bills, 65 per cent feeling it damaged the economy, and 60 per cent reporting harm to the UK's reputation.
  • Public confidence in European security remains high, as 72 per cent trust EU nations to defend the UK compared to 35 per cent for the US, while 70 per cent of young Britons support rejoining the bloc.
  • Despite shifting public sentiment, any legislative attempt to reverse Brexit faces institutional resistance from the Tories and Nigel Farage's Reform party, limiting near-term concrete action despite majority support for rejoining.
