Less than one in ten British voters think Brexit has gone well, according to a new study from the think-tank UK in Changing Europe (UKICE).
The same has found that now just 9 per cent consider that leaving the European Union has been a success.
Besides, while fewer than one-third or 30 per cent agreed, the rest of the participants in this survey are pessimistic that the policy will eventually turn out well.
In a hypothetical referendum regarding the rejoining of Britain to the bloc, a total of 48 per cent would vote to rejoin, while 32 per cent would vote against it, while the rest were unsure when it came to this question.
In spite of the fact that the number of those supporting the rejoining of the UK to the EU is bigger, the authors have called for caution when interpreting the results.
According to them, the almost unanimous dissatisfaction with the policy does not necessarily mean it is a matching vote to rejoin the EU.
The director of UKICE, Anand Menon, said that results showed the constraints on both Labour and Conservative party leaders when it came to their policies regarding Brexit.
Rishi Sunak may struggle to weaponize the issue, given that many Leavers now think Brexit has not worked because of government incompetence. Keir Starmer is yet to explain how the limited revisions he proposes to the UK-EU relationship will address the economic problems many voters think have resulted from the decision to leave the EU.
The researcher at UKICE, Sophie Stowers, emphasized that this report shows that a large number of the assumptions regarding Leavers who are unhappy with the course of Brexit are false.
In August this year, another survey revealed that nearly half of the musicians from Britain and workers in the music industry have said that they have had less work in the EU as a result of Brexit.
Travelling to the EU has also been challenging for Britons, especially during this peak summer season. The figures from the HM Passport Office revealed that 254,316 holidaymakers’ valid passports do not align with the post-Brexit rules for travelling to the EU.
The figures mean that a quarter of a million travellers holding valid passports might be subject to additional difficulties this summer due to EU rules.
Another survey conducted previously by YouGov revealed that an increased number of Britons are regretting their decision to leave the bloc. The same showed that 55 per cent of respondents who participated in this study would vote to remain in the EU while 31 per cent would stay out.
