Gen Z leads drive to reverse Brexit

A recent poll indicates that a significant portion of the UK population believes Brexit has negatively impacted various aspects of life, including the economy, cost of living, and the NHS. Among voters, 56% expressed a willingness to rejoin the EU if a new referendum were held, with 61% of those aged 18-24 supporting this view. This sentiment is particularly strong among Generation Z, who were ineligible to vote in the 2016 referendum. The survey also reveals that many voters feel misled by pro-Brexit advocates, particularly regarding promises made about the NHS funding. A notable 45% of respondents believe the NHS has deteriorated since Brexit, while only 13% think it has improved. Additionally, 39% of voters perceive immigration levels to be higher due to Brexit, and 58% report an increase in the cost of living. Despite the prevailing negative views, there remains a divided opinion on the long-term effects of Brexit, with 38% of respondents optimistic about future outcomes compared to 33% who are pessimistic. The desire for another referendum is strong, with 52% of voters supporting one within the next five years, highlighting a growing discontent with the current situation. Overall, the findings suggest a significant shift in public opinion regarding Brexit, particularly among younger voters, and raise questions about the legitimacy of the original referendum's outcome. The data may serve as a catalyst for renewed discussions about the UK's relationship with the EU.
