It has been seven years since the British voted in a referendum to withdraw their country from the EU. According to a recent survey, many people are dissatisfied with political developments since then – but most would make the same decisions again as in 2016.
Although many supporters believe that things are not going well with Brexit, this does not necessarily mean that they regret their decision. Only 16 percent of respondents who supported Brexit at the time would vote differently today, write the two think tanks UK in a Changing Europe and Public First, which jointly conducted the survey. Six percent of opponents would vote for Brexit today.
“This report shows that many assumptions about Brexit supporters who are now dissatisfied with the consequences are incorrect,” said researcher Sophie Stowers. It would be presumptuous to assume that dissatisfaction with the implementation of Brexit would automatically lead to people subsequently preferring to remain in the EU or Britain wanting to rejoin the EU.
The study surveyed around 4,000 people in Britain online between May 26 and June 2, 2023. In addition, five focus groups were qualitatively interviewed between May and September.
