How would Britons vote if the EU referendum were taking place in 2023?
A majority of Britons (55%) say that, were the EU referendum taking place now, seven years after the original date, they would vote to Remain. Three in ten 31% say they would vote to Leave. This gives a headline voting intention of 64% to 36%.
The results show that one in six Leave voters (18%) now say that they would vote to Remain were the EU referendum being held now. Almost three quarters (73%) say they would still vote to leave the EU.
Honestly, after the way we behaved during and after Brexit (the moment that sticks out in my memory is Farage and Widdecombe smugly waving those little Union Jack flags while the head of the EU repeatedly told them to shut up) I completely understand and I don’t think we really deserve it either.
My position since before the vote was to remain, and that to leave the EU is a completely idiotic thing to do, and my stance has not changed at all. I’d love for us to be a part of the EU again someday, but I’d hope we could rejoin in good faith, not to just try and waltz back in like the own the place, grudgingly hang around until we unfuck our economy and then try to Brexit again and fuck everyone around in 10 years or so, which I fear is where our current government would take us.
Yep. I’m certain we’ll rejoin eventually, and as much as I’d love it to be soon, people need to genuinely believe the EU is beneficial and want to participate, or what’s even the point? And to get there, we’re going to have to go through some pain for a while.
Even when the UK will rejoin it will be painful. The UK had a LOT of special priviliges that were denied other countries within the Union they will not receive a second time
But I would like the UK back for easier travel lol
