Hi r/europe, this is Emma from The Guardian. We wanted to share this story that we published today on research by Best for Britain which finds that more than half of Britons support rejoining the EU 10 years on from the Brexit vote.
*From our story:*
Support for rejoining the EU rather than simply rejoining the single market is growing among British voters, with more than 80% of Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green party supporters favouring this option, according to research mapping voter attitudes 10 years after the Brexit referendum.
Labour’s “muted” approach to the issue means it risks losing support among progressive voters and in “red wall” constituencies, experts have said as part of research by Best for Britain.
While 61% of all voters supported the government’s current approach to EU relations, only 19% did so “strongly”, the research showed.
A full return to the EU was supported by 53% of all voters with support at 83% among Labour voters, 84% Liberal Democrat and 82% Green, the polling found.
Of Conservative and Reform voters, 39% and 18% backed the policy respectively, Best for Britain found.

that was TEN YEARS AGO????
Is that even news at this point?
I believe there will be another referendum in the next decade, unlike the last vote they will probably put a requirement of a clear majority.
If they don’t we will be trapped in a cycle of joining and leaving the EU, which will be peak UK.
Yay! Just wait for the pile on of propaganda once Farage reads this haha.
The old farts who voted for Brexit, jeopardizing youth future, are probably dead now.

Sad to see the age breakdown – people who don’t have a future due to their age shouldn’t decide the future of everyone else.

53% doesn’t actually seem very high given 48% voted to remain during the referendum itself.
It honestly seems more like the Guardian just wanted to avoid the headline ‘Majority support government plan on EU’
This shouldn’t have been and shouldn’t be a vote taken by a simple majority.
I said it before: it’s because 1/7th of voters for brexit dropped dead during the brexit time until today, and now the other older voters got to live their pension life while outside the eu and seeing the consequences
history is important, otherwise you’re misinformed
OFC they’re for EU accession, because it is a great success formula
That is just the people who voted remain in the first place. Daft article.
More than falf. If it’s 51% is not very encouraging is it?
If they come back I want them to get the Euro €€€
UK should have negotiated the terms of leaving the EU first, then had the referendum.
UK should negotiate the terms of rejoining and then have a referendum.
These polls are worse than useless
What’s likely interesting here isn’t the fact that 53% of Britons, according to the poll (not that this ratio is precise or that they’ll actually show up to vote), but that the other 47% are opposed. I’d like to understand the main reasons for their opposition- whether it’s something genuinely significant, or just a bit of xenophobia or a simple lack of understanding.
One has to wonder how many of them didn’t vote, at all, in 2015, thinking nothing would change. #votingmatters
Ehh, that’s a worthy headline until you start talking about carve outs. When you mention that the UK will not get anywhere near the deal it has before, support drops like a rock.
I mean there’s several issues to remember.
-We probably won’t rejoin on favourable terms like last time
-it’s not up to the electorate to decide, under the UK parliamentary system elected MPs make the decisions. Because of multiparty politics and the electoral system, a party can win 30% of the vote and have 100% political power. That’s why you had Boris Johnson ramming Brexit through probably against the majority.
More than half is too little in my opinion. It will swing in no time.
Only more than a half? I thought it would be much more than that
And yet not a single political party supports it?
Will they still vote Reform though in the large numbers that the pool also seems to show? I seriously hope not, them leaving was a mistake from the start and giving control to Farage will not improve things either.
During times like these, with an uncertain future involving Reform and similar movements, it doesn’t matter. The cycle needs to play itself out in the UK first, and it might take a generation
Helps that a lot of the folks who voted for Brexit have died of old age.
Why there is no political party pushing UK rejoin the EU?
So surprisingly not much of a change that is. 🤷
I thought Brits would overwhelmingly want to return by now. Maybe leaving wasn’t such a bad idea as I thought it was.
As an EU citizen, I will be happy to have positive relations with the UK, but I am not sure about the UK rejoining EU. With all due respect: the UK is a mess, and we don’t a need new Orban to sabotage us from a much more powerful country than Hungary. We also don’t need members who demand a lot of exceptions to EU rules, and we certainly don’t need the „City of London“ to mess up our financial markets. It’s just too risky, with questionable benefits for the union. The British people have proven themselves to be unstable partners, and we don’t have to make that our problem.
Will more than half of Britons do something about it then? This is getting tiring.
You can just have our spot if it’ll help, UK deserves to be in the EU after helping Ukraine so much.
Do ti. Family belongs together.
Fun fact; Joinin EU requires adoptation of euro.
Simple Argument stopper, UK will never take on Euro, EU will make it a prerequisite to rejoin, we don’t have the power to negotiate this to a favourable conclusion anymore.
For that title to be true, everybody must have been asked . I wasn’t
EU is better with the UK.
It will never happen not in 30 years
Are these Britons actually British or not British appearing British who just want to move through the EU easier?
