To Leave or Not to Leave: 8 Years After Brexit, 63% UK Voters Now Want to Have Closer Ties with EU

News 18  

A majority of the British voters are now favouring closer relations with the European Union in a dramatic reversal eight years since Brexit. The report said that 53 percent of the voters want England to seek a closer relationship with the EU and 14 percent want the UK to become more distant. In Boston and Skegness in Lincolnshire, where the vote to leave the EU was 75 percent in 2016, more than twice the people now want closer links with the EU. Immigration has long been a key political issue in the UK and was one of the main battlegrounds of the Brexit referendum in 2016, which saw the country leave the European Union.
