A top pollster has delivered a stark reminder after recent polling showed less than a third of Britons would vote to leave the European Union if the Brexit referendum were to be redone.<\/p>\n

According to a More in Common poll, 52 per cent of voters would vote to remain if the 2016 Brexit referendum were held again today.<\/p>\n

The polling took place between July 22 and 24 and showed a strong shift in public sentiment.<\/p>\n

Support for Remain had increased by four percentage points over the year.<\/p>\n

Head of Quantitative Research at Public First Adam Drummond told GB News that “Brexit regret” came from three places.<\/p>\n

“People who weren’t old enough in 2016 but would’ve voted Remain,” he said.<\/p>\n

“People who didn’t vote but wish they’d turned out for Remain, and people who voted Leave or were ambivalent and think it’s all been handled really badly.”<\/p>\n

With that said, Drummond said: “The best thing Brexit has going for it is that Britain being outside the EU is now the status quo”.<\/p>\n

He added that “even hardcore Remainers have little desire to go through all that hassle again”.<\/p>\n

Drummond said whether there should be another referendum was a “classic surface-level question”.<\/p>\n

“It’s easy to say that you like the idea of one in a poll, but do they think the Government should spend time on that instead of fixing the NHS or welfare?” he said.<\/p>\n

“What it does mean though is that the Government can probably get away with a fair amount of alignment with the EU short of actually trying to formally join it again, because a lot of the passion has been taken out of the debate.”<\/p>\n

Drummond added that “we saw that with Rishi Sunak’s Windsor Framework and the muted reaction to the EU agreement earlier this year”.<\/p>\n

And Drummond’s sentiment about the UK having a more informal relationship with the EU has already fledged its wings.<\/p>\n

The Labour Government in May agreed a deal with the EU, described as an “unconditional surrender” by GB News’ Jacob Rees-Mogg, allowing e-gate access for British passport holders in Europe.<\/p>\n

It also included no health certificates for pets travelling into EU countries and the removal of red tape over most food and drink imports and exports.<\/p>\n

Starmer also recently secured migrant deals with France and Germany in a bid to clamp down on illegal migrants coming into the UK.<\/p>\n

The poll found that the only groups where a majority would still vote Leave were people who had voted Conservative in last year’s General Election – that being 52 per cent.<\/p>\n

Reform voters were at a whopping 68 per cent.<\/p>\n

Nigel Farage has gone a step further, having previously vowed to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR); however, the poll showed this was not a favourable move, with 58 per cent of people saying the UK should remain.<\/p>\n

Only 28 per cent said they would be in favour of leaving, and 14 per cent said they didn’t know.<\/p>\n

Whether the UK should leave has been a recent topic of discussion, with Shadow Justice Secretary, Robert Jenrick, backing to leave the ECHR when running against now-Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A top pollster has delivered a stark reminder after recent polling showed less than a third of Britons…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":337079,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5226],"tags":[802,748,2000,299,5187,1699,4884,8274,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-337078","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brexit","8":"tag-brexit","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-european","13":"tag-european-union","14":"tag-great-britain","15":"tag-membership","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115012978820609452","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
