Public opinion on Brexit seems to be changing, with nearly half of UK voters now backing a new referendum on EU membership within the next five years<\/a>, according to fresh polling by More in Common for The Sunday Times.<\/p>\n

Would you vote differently in a new Brexit referendum? Do you think it\u2019s time for the UK to rethink its relationship with Europe or should the country move on? Share your thoughts in the comments below.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The survey, which polled over 2,000 individuals, revealed that only 29% would vote to leave the EU if a referendum were held today – a significant drop from the 52% who supported Leave in 2016. Meanwhile, 52% say they would vote to remain, with 8% undecided and 11% opting not to vote.<\/p>\n

Almost half (49%) are in favour of a new referendum on rejoining the EU in the next five years, while 37% are against it.<\/p>\n

This poll emerges amidst escalating tensions over issues related to Europe, including an increasing debate around the UK’s membership in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). A majority of respondents (58%) believe the UK should remain part of the ECHR, compared to 28% who think the country should withdraw.<\/p>\n

Nigel Farage, who is once again in the political limelight, has prioritised leaving the ECHR if elected, while cabinet minister Kemi Badenoch has stated that the Conservatives will review the UK’s membership. The ECHR, co-authored by Winston Churchill post-WWII, has faced criticism from some quarters for blocking deportations on human rights grounds.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has dismissed the possibility of holding another referendum whilst continuing to advocate for stronger trade ties with the EU. The Labour leader has also taken steps to mend relationships with European counterparts, including French President Emmanuel Macron, representing a departure from previous Conservative administrations.<\/p>\n

Luke Tryl, director of More in Common, observed: “With fewer than three in ten saying they would vote to leave the EU in a referendum today… the days of Europe as a political bogeyman may be on the wane.”<\/p>\n
