Majority of Brits {58%} want Brexit to be reversed, new poll finds

A new poll has found that a majority of British people want to see Brexit reversed and the UK rejoin the European Union.

This year marks ten years since Britain infamously voted to leave the EU. But after a decade of Brexit lies and failure, it seems public opinion has well and truly shifted on the matter.

According to a new Deltapoll Survey for the Mirror, nearly six in ten (58%) Britons would vote for the UK to rejoin the EU if a second referendum was held.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, support for rejoining the trading bloc was highest among 18-14-year-olds (86%), whilst over-65s were the most opposed to rejoining, with 58% saying they did not want to rejoin.

...Support for rejoining was highest in Scotland, at 73%, followed by London and Wales, both 65%.

Any referendum is not going to happen until well past 2030. That is IF it happens.

Reform should win and then let's see if people still want a referendum.

The current Labor government has explicitly ruled out pursuing re-accession. This stance was reaffirmed in a government response to a parliamentary petition on January 7, 2026, emphasizing a "reset" in UK-EU relations through closer cooperation (e.g., deals on youth mobility, emissions trading, and sanitary standards) but without rejoining the single market, customs union, or restoring freedom of movement.

If they DO hold a referendum after 2030 then the rules should be clear - at least 66% of the public should vote and there should be at least 66% voting to rejoin. Otherwise, no change.

The thing is - the decision is made and can't be reversed for at least a decade (meaning at least until 2030)

And France was terribly happy that the Brits were leaving (as France hoped to dominate the EU like it did the EC).

Scotlands next vote to nullify the act of union might come up before this.

No bias here.

"According to a new Deltapoll Survey for the Mirror, nearly six in ten (58%) Britons would vote for the UK to rejoin the EU if a second referendum was held."

Typical WEF/EU/Globalist maneuver. Keep redoing the referendum until they get the outcome they want.

“Seems deep state wins every time in Europe.”

They win most of the time here. If not for Trump, the deep state would be in firm control here. If we lose the midterms, that break from the deep state will be stopped.

The United Kingdom is filled to the brim with freeloaders and parasites. They think joining the other EuroTrash will get them more freebies and amenities.

If they only knew that the European welfare Union is going to collapse, now that the plundering of the USA treasury has come to and end. They have finally run out of other people’s money.

On what basis do you call a verified poll as “a lie”?

do you have some special insight into the hearts and minds of Brits?

Why do you think the EU will “collapse”?

The problem isn’t Brexit...The problem is the EU smothering any independence among their members.

The collapse has begun in Germany. The auto industry is failed. Large companies are laying off workers. There is no gas to keep things alive

When Germany fails, most of the rest of Europe will be right behind it.

The USA has been subsidizing European countries for decades (going back to 1945).

That has come to an end. The tariffs Trump imposed on the EU will finish them off. They cannot maintain a generous welfare state without the vast amount of dollars received from one-way trade imbalances. They are going to learn the hard way, not to mess with Trump. And I say, good riddance to the warmongering EuroTrash.

The EU is the very definition of failure, destined to be renamed EU-istan. Sad, but stick a fork in Europe and the UK, they’re done.

The polis sure wrecked what could have and should have been a great freeing and enlivening process. Back to suffocating socialism. But that’s what they wanted all along.

Does anyone believe the EU/globalists/establishment haven’t MADE SURE Brexit was a failure? They’re practically punishing the people of the UK for doing it.

It wouldn’t surprise me that the sentiment is negative, but it is by design.
