Seven years after the Brexit referendum, three-quarters of Britons have lost confidence in their politicians. This is according to an opinion poll by the London think tank UK in a Changing Europe, which was released on Friday on the anniversary of the referendum. 75 per cent of respondents said: “I have lost faith in British politicians in recent years.”
In the referendum on June 23, 2016, the British voted 52 to 48 percent to leave the European Union. It was completed on January 31, 2020. As the survey shows, a majority of 52 percent now believes that Brexit was not a success. Only one in ten sees it differently. 74 percent believe that politicians act more in their own interest than in the public interest.
Few regret the Brexit decision
Nevertheless, there can be no question of “Bregret” – a neologism of Brexit and regret (regret): Of those who voted for Brexit, only 15 percent regret it.
Almost half of those polled (48 percent) would vote today in a referendum to return to the EU. Only about a third (32 percent) would be in favor of staying away. A majority of people in Britain (54 percent) simply don’t want to hear about Brexit anymore.
