Most Brexit supporters now want closer EU ties: Study

China Daily  

Most people who voted in the 2016 Brexit referendum for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union now want access to its single market and the freedom-of-movement principle, according to a study by the European Council on Foreign Relations, or ECFR. The think tank said in a report released on Wednesday that many people in EU member nations also want much closer ties. On Thursday, new European Council President Antonio Costa made his maiden visit to Britain for talks with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer as the two sides press to improve ties, Brussels said. It said 54 percent of Britons who voted "leave" in the 2016 referendum would now accept free movement for EU and UK citizens wanting to live and work throughout their shared territory, in return for access to the EU's single market. Among EU nations, 45 percent of Germans want closer ties, the report said, as do 44 percent of Polish voters, 41 percent of Spaniards, 40 percent of Italians, and 34 percent of the French.
