For the first time in seven years after opting to leave the European Union, more than half of Britons would vote to rejoin the EU, according to the YouGov polls.
As per the poll, around 51% of Britons told the polling company that they would vote for the UK to become an EU member again, while 32% said that they would stay out. The proportion in favour of rejoining has risen 11 points since January 2021, when Brexit formally took place.
The research findings sheds light on the growing disillusionment among British voters about Brexit. Which triggered years of divisive debate in Parliament before the UK finally left the bloc.
Britons are yet to see the promised fruits of departure from the EU, with UK holidaymakers facing longer queues at European airports and shoppers facing higher food prices fueled by both Brexit curbs on migrant workers and its effect on supply chains. A trade deal with the US, meanwhile, held as one of the great prizes of Brexit, doesn’t look likely to materialize anytime soon.
