Resumo

TLDRFive years after Brexit, public sentiment in the UK has shifted dramatically, with fewer people believing leaving the EU was a sound decision. New polling data suggests that only 30% of the population supports Brexit, while 55% think it was a mistake. This change in opinion can be attributed to demographic shifts, as newer voters tend to favor rejoining the EU. The ramifications of Brexit have been largely perceived as negative, particularly in areas such as trade and immigration. Despite this public sentiment, political parties, especially Labour, remain resistant to reversing Brexit policies. As frustrations mount, a majority of people are now calling for closer ties with the EU.

    Five years after Brexit marked by mixed reactions; current polling indicates low support for the decision to leave the EU, with a significant increase in regrets. Recent data shows only 30% believe Brexit was the right choice, while 55% disagree, marking the lowest support since the referendum. A demographic shift and a growing belief that Brexit has failed are driving the change, with younger voters favoring rejoining the EU. The economic impacts of Brexit, particularly on trade and immigration, have also led to negative public sentiment, with many believing it has resulted in more failures than successes. Despite the majority wanting to rejoin, political parties, especially Labour and the Liberal Democrats, seem reluctant to change their stances, potentially due to the prevailing Westminster consensus that Brexit is untouchable. However, if public dissatisfaction continues, pressure for change may increase.

    podcast app according to ugo's January
  • 00:01:09
    2025 data just 30% of Britains right now
  • 00:01:12
    say that the UK was right to vote to
  • 00:01:14
    leave the EU compared to 55% who say it
  • 00:01:17
    was wrong that's the lowest proportion
  • 00:01:19
    ever in ugo's polling saying that the UK
  • 00:01:21
    was right to vote for brexit if you
  • 00:01:24
    break that data down by referendum voter
  • 00:01:26
    type unsurprisingly 88% of 2016 remain
  • 00:01:29
    voter voters view the country's vote for
  • 00:01:31
    brexit as wrong whereas a smaller number
  • 00:01:33
    of leave voters 66% view it as the right
  • 00:01:37
    decision meaning a sizable one in six
  • 00:01:39
    leave voters think that it was wrong
  • 00:01:42
    against this backdrop of dissatisfaction
  • 00:01:43
    in hindsight with the brexit vote
  • 00:01:45
    polling by Redfield and Wilton last
  • 00:01:47
    month found that excluding don't knows
  • 00:01:50
    57% would vote to rejoin the EU while
  • 00:01:52
    43% would vote to stay out according to
  • 00:01:56
    professor John Curtis that is a very
  • 00:01:58
    similar result to both the average in
  • 00:02:00
    other recent polls and with the picture
  • 00:02:02
    for over 2 years so what is behind all
  • 00:02:05
    this well at least part of it can be
  • 00:02:07
    attributed to the slightly morbid
  • 00:02:09
    reality of demographic churn older
  • 00:02:11
    people were more likely to back brexit
  • 00:02:13
    than younger people in 2016 some of
  • 00:02:15
    those leave voters will have died in the
  • 00:02:17
    nine years since while those who were
  • 00:02:19
    too young to vote have now joined the
  • 00:02:21
    electorate according to Redfield and
  • 00:02:23
    Wilton today 60% of 18 to 24 year olds
  • 00:02:26
    none of whom were old enough to vote in
  • 00:02:28
    2016 would vote to rejoin but putting
  • 00:02:31
    age aside the simple fact is that people
  • 00:02:33
    including leave voters think brexit has
  • 00:02:36
    gone badly Yugo found that only 11% of
  • 00:02:38
    Britains think brexit has been more of a
  • 00:02:41
    success while 62% think it has been more
  • 00:02:43
    of a failure most notable is that only
  • 00:02:46
    22% of Lee voters think that brexit has
  • 00:02:49
    been more of a success compared to 32%
  • 00:02:51
    viewing it as more of a failure The
  • 00:02:53
    public's view of brexit as a failure is
  • 00:02:55
    even more Stark when you break it down
  • 00:02:57
    by topic another yugov survey from from
  • 00:03:00
    last month showed that few Britains
  • 00:03:02
    think brexit has been good for anything
  • 00:03:04
    the famous takeback control message
  • 00:03:06
    seems to be the only area that Britain's
  • 00:03:08
    assess brexit as being more positive
  • 00:03:10
    with 31% of the public believing that
  • 00:03:12
    brexit has had a positive impact for the
  • 00:03:14
    control that the UK has over its own
  • 00:03:16
    laws although that's still smaller than
  • 00:03:18
    the 35% who say there's been no impact
  • 00:03:21
    the only other mildly well assessed area
  • 00:03:24
    with 23% saying there was a positive
  • 00:03:26
    impact is the UK's ability to respond to
  • 00:03:29
    the covid-19 pandemic and even then
  • 00:03:31
    that's still a smaller share than the
  • 00:03:33
    30% who think it was negatively impacted
  • 00:03:35
    by brexit or the 32% who saw no impact
  • 00:03:39
    what's most damning is that no more than
  • 00:03:41
    11% of Britains believe brexit has been
  • 00:03:43
    beneficial to the 16 other issues
  • 00:03:45
    surveyed let's look at some of these
  • 00:03:47
    more closely if we look at broadly
  • 00:03:49
    economic issues specifically brexit's
  • 00:03:52
    impact on International Trade British
  • 00:03:54
    businesses the UK economy and public
  • 00:03:56
    finances The public's verdict is
  • 00:03:58
    overwhelmingly negative 57% 64% 65% and
  • 00:04:03
    58% respectively to be blunt these
  • 00:04:06
    numbers shouldn't really be surprising
  • 00:04:08
    when you consider that during the
  • 00:04:09
    referendum campaign brexit was build as
  • 00:04:11
    an opportunity to transform the UK's
  • 00:04:13
    prospects free up money to spend on
  • 00:04:16
    public services and sign our own trade
  • 00:04:18
    deals around the world that would boost
  • 00:04:19
    British businesses however the office
  • 00:04:22
    for Budget responsibility or OB
  • 00:04:24
    forecasts that relative to remaining in
  • 00:04:26
    the EU the UK's Post brexit Trading
  • 00:04:28
    relationship with the EU will in the
  • 00:04:30
    long run reduce the UK economy's
  • 00:04:32
    potential productivity by 4% and the
  • 00:04:35
    volume of UK import and exports by 15%
  • 00:04:38
    the obr also says that new trade deals
  • 00:04:41
    with non-eu countries will not have a
  • 00:04:43
    material impact because the deals
  • 00:04:45
    concluded so far either replicate deals
  • 00:04:47
    that the UK already benefited from as an
  • 00:04:49
    EU member state or do not have a
  • 00:04:51
    material impact on its forecast while
  • 00:04:54
    service exports have done unexpectedly
  • 00:04:56
    well since leaving brexit has hurt the
  • 00:04:58
    UK's trade in Goods with smaller
  • 00:05:00
    businesses in particular struggling with
  • 00:05:02
    so-called non-tariff barriers such as
  • 00:05:04
    Customs checks and paperwork similarly
  • 00:05:07
    on immigration another key issue during
  • 00:05:09
    the referendum brexit has not delivered
  • 00:05:11
    what many who voted for it may have been
  • 00:05:13
    expecting and 52% think brexit had a
  • 00:05:16
    negative impact on immigration levels
  • 00:05:18
    while just 6% think it's had a positive
  • 00:05:20
    impact brexit was sold as a way for the
  • 00:05:23
    UK to take control of its borders and
  • 00:05:25
    control immigration to bring net
  • 00:05:27
    migration down below 100,000 as per the
  • 00:05:30
    Tory government's Target at the time of
  • 00:05:32
    the referendum net migration was around
  • 00:05:34
    300,000 people per year and while
  • 00:05:36
    leaving the EU did precede a big drop in
  • 00:05:39
    EU migration soaring non-eu immigration
  • 00:05:42
    has sent net migration to a record
  • 00:05:44
    96,000 in the year to June 2023 and then
  • 00:05:48
    728 th000 in the year to June
  • 00:05:51
    2024 now we've obviously only mentioned
  • 00:05:53
    a few areas there but the headline is
  • 00:05:55
    that by a considerable margin the UK
  • 00:05:58
    public thinks brexit has not being a
  • 00:06:00
    success and polling suggests that a
  • 00:06:02
    majority would vote to rejoin as well as
  • 00:06:04
    showing support for other closer
  • 00:06:05
    Arrangements like rejoining the single
  • 00:06:07
    Market or the Customs Union however it
  • 00:06:10
    does at times feel like the Westminster
  • 00:06:12
    consensus that brexit is Untouchable has
  • 00:06:15
    hardly changed despite the Public's
  • 00:06:17
    evolving view so will there be a
  • 00:06:19
    political shift anytime soon well the
  • 00:06:22
    labor government has promised a reset in
  • 00:06:24
    UK EU relations aiming for deeper ties
  • 00:06:27
    however they have consistently ruled out
  • 00:06:29
    rejoining the EU single Market or
  • 00:06:31
    Customs Union or returning to free
  • 00:06:33
    movement given these repeated statements
  • 00:06:36
    and the fact that this was all set out
  • 00:06:37
    in their Manifesto It's hard to imagine
  • 00:06:40
    labor budging on this issue at least in
  • 00:06:42
    their current term things like striking
  • 00:06:44
    a youth Mobility deal the security pact
  • 00:06:47
    and joining the pan Euro Mediterranean
  • 00:06:48
    convention could however all form part
  • 00:06:51
    of Labour's EU reset for now it's the
  • 00:06:54
    liberal Democrats who are trying to push
  • 00:06:55
    the political needle on brexit with
  • 00:06:58
    their leader Ed Davy calling on Kama to
  • 00:07:00
    negotiate a new Customs Union deal with
  • 00:07:02
    the EU the question is if brexit
  • 00:07:04
    continues to poll as poorly as it
  • 00:07:06
    currently does it may only be a matter
  • 00:07:08
    of time before other parties are forced
  • 00:07:10
    to consider their own positions that's
  • 00:07:13
    not the end of this story though with
  • 00:07:15

  • 00:07:17
    busy year for news in fact there's so
