Conservative voters are now more than twice as likely to consider Brexit a failure for the UK (46%) compared to a success (22%).
Of the 62% who say Brexit has been a failure, 80% point the finger of blame at Boris Johnson, who before he became prime minister was a high profile Leave campaigner. In 2019, he won a huge majority in a snap general election to “get Brexit done”.
Bank of England governor Bailey has warned that Brexit will have a negative impact on the UK’s economic growth “for the foreseeable future”, highlighting a decline in the UK’s potential growth rate from 2.5% to 1.5 % over the past 15 years.
Many Britons are now talking about "Bregret” - regret about the exit.
Of current Conservative supporters who think Brexit - which slashed UK GDP by 4%* and wiped £40 billion from the Treasury's annual budget** - is a failure, half (51%) cite its economic impact as the primary reason with a similar number (50%) saying it damaged our ability to trade with Europe.
The next most commonly given reasons by current Conservative supporters for viewing Brexit as a failure were that it damaged our relationship with other European countries (43%), and it did not result in any opportunities, such as extra NHS funding (37%). Almost one-third of current Conservative supporters who deem Brexit to have failed say that leaving the EU had made the UK more isolated on the world stage (32%)
even Reform UK supporters are split three ways on this question, with one third (33%) viewing it as a failure, and the same number saying it is neither a success nor a failure. Just over a quarter (28%) of those intending to vote Reform UK at the next election said they viewed Brexit as a success.

Lunacy. First, it was never fully implemented because every British government since then has slow walked every single aspect of it. Second, the economic problems in the UK have noting to do with Brexit and everything to do with British socialism, and the mass influx of millions of third world foreigners.
Voting for Brexit was largely a vote against of flood of low wage eastern european labor. Post brexit, those workers were replaced with refugees, and illegal middle eastern and african labor. Bad bad trade, and betrayal of brexit and the ppl of the UK.
The UK would be better off as a part of a United Europe, so long as that Europe wasn’t dominated by transnational progressives.
You ungrateful, uppity, tea tax-dodging bumpkins, you’ll regret every year after Brexit 1783.

The intent of Brexit was simply and collectively ignored by the ruling classes. Murdered in the cradle, as it were.
All that Brexit was designed to prevent has been allowed to flourish or some would say fester.
Why would the UK being in a comparable position to the USA and Canada with respect to the EU be bad?
How are the Continentals being unfair to American and Canadian exporters?
You’ll regret leaving the plantation.

bullcrap
In this case they do
They aren’t in a comparable position and it is disingenuous of you to say that. They have a weaker negotiation position.
Not analogous. The UK had massive exceptions as part of the EU and they were the leaders, frustrating the French who were glad they left
I agree. Further, I am sick of transplanted Europeans becoming American liberals who want to make America into another delusional and suicidal European cesspool.
That’s because Brexit was betrayed by the Tory wets who just surrendered everything they could to the EU and started letting in even more massive hordes of Muslims and Africans instead of Europeans. That’s why the Tory party is dead and why Labour is dying.
” ‘Conservative voters say Brexit has failed and damaged UK economy’ “
not this sh*t again
If it were true then why did conservative voters desert the Conservative Party in droves at the last election to vote Reform.
“The UK would be better off as a part of a United Europe, so long as that Europe wasn’t dominated by transnational progressives.”
In other words, factor out the transnational progressives, you think an unelected bureaucracy is the best way to run a nation?
The UK would be better off with a spiritual awakening and returning back to trusting in God, not government.
“Lunacy. First, it was never fully implemented because every British government since then has slow walked every single aspect of it”
Not only that but since Brexit things have gone downhill for Brits who visit Europe. Quite a few of them die on vacation

MAILLY-LE-CAMP, France — French troops are preparing for a high-intensity conflict against an enemy who can match them with firepower — a big change for an army that’s spent the past decades fighting counterinsurgency campaigns in places like Mali and Afghanistan.
"Best for Britain is a civil society campaign formed of researchers, data scientists, strategists, and activists who say that they are working to fix "the problems Britain faces after Brexit". Originally launched on 26 April 2017 to stop Brexit and continue the UK's membership of the European Union, the organization's aim since 2021 has been strengthening UK-EU ties as well as protecting democratic rights within the UK."
Not surprising. Never take anything at face value anymore. Always check the source.
Their Brexit was half hearted and phony.
