A new survey reports that two-thirds of citizens across the EU would support the UK rejoining the bloc. The findings come from polling conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), a foreign policy think tank, published around the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum. Respondents in 15 European countries were asked about their views on UK membership, with 66% saying it would be a “very good,” “good,” or “neither a good nor a bad” idea. The survey also indicates that support for closer UK–EU relations is not confined to traditional pro-European voters. It finds backing for a closer relationship among voters for far-right and Eurosceptic parties as well. In the UK, the polling suggests many voters view Brexit as having been negative for the issues they care about, and they express support for closer ties with the EU. This includes attitudes toward deeper integration measures that were central to debate during the Brexit campaign, such as free movement. The results reflect a broad shift in public opinion across both EU member states and the UK in the decade since the referendum.
