Only 29% of Britons would vote for Brexit today, which is significantly lower than the result of the 2016 referendum, The Times reported, citing a poll.
According to the information, 52% of referendum participants voted to leave the EU in 2016. Today, according to The Times, this figure has fallen to 29%, indicating a major shift in public opinion.
Moreover, 49% of respondents believe that a new referendum on restoring relations with the European Union should be held in the next five years. These sentiments are forming against the backdrop of the economic consequences of Brexit, including a decline in investment and London’s loss of its status as a key European trading centre.
After leaving the EU, the UK has faced serious economic challenges: trade procedures have become more complicated, foreign investment has declined, and many companies have moved their European headquarters to Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt.
The financial sector, which was previously one of the main pillars of the British economy, has been particularly hard hit.
These consequences are intensifying criticism of Brexit supporters and fuelling discussion about a possible “reintegration” scenario, although the official authorities do not yet consider a return to the EU as a realistic political option.
