UK: Polls Show EU Support Amid 10-Year Referendum Anniversary
The Spin
Left narrative
Brexit has been a generational betrayal. 60% of Gen Z Britons would vote to rejoin the EU, and 50% already call it a failure. The pro-Brexit majority from 2016 has effectively vanished as older Leave voters died and millions of young pro-EU voters entered the electorate. A fresh referendum is overdue, and the numbers make clear which way it would go.
Right narrative
Brexit delivered something Brussels never could: sovereignty, border control and the freedom to set British rules for British people. The economic struggles since 2016 owe far more to COVID and the war in Ukraine than to leaving the EU, and other European economies are faring no better. Rejoining would mean surrendering hard-won independence to an unelected bureaucracy that never had Britain's interests at heart.
