Ten years after the 2016 Brexit referendum, new polling shows that most Gen Z Britons would vote for the UK to rejoin the European Union if given the opportunity. The results focus on people aged 18 to 28, many of whom were too young to vote in the referendum when the UK voted to leave the EU. According to the polling reported by The Independent and The Guardian, a large majority of this age group expresses dissatisfaction with Brexit and indicates they would support reversing the decision. The Guardian reports that 60% of respondents in the 18–28 age range would vote to rejoin the bloc in a new vote. The Independent similarly reports that only a small minority of 18–28-year-olds think the UK should stay out of the EU. The findings are based on research conducted by the thinktank More in Common, with results shared with The Guardian. While the coverage emphasizes generational differences, the sources agree on the broad direction of opinion among Gen Z: support for rejoining the EU and for another referendum.
