A decade after the UK voted to leave the European Union, multiple surveys reported by different outlets find that a majority of Britons now consider Brexit to have been a mistake. The coverage describes this as growing “divorce regret,” reflecting a shift in public opinion since the original 2016 referendum. While the reports note that most people would favor reconsidering the decision—potentially through a new referendum—political support for reopening the issue is described as limited. The articles do not indicate that the UK government or major parties are actively pursuing another Brexit vote, emphasizing instead that any change would face substantial political reluctance. One report frames the question of whether the EU would take Britain back, but the common focus across sources is the public’s current view of Brexit rather than specific negotiations or policy moves. Overall, the accounts agree that support for remaining in the EU has increased, and that public regret is now more prevalent than in the immediate aftermath of the referendum.
