Bregret - Statistics & Facts

Seven years after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, by 51.9 percent to 48.1 percent, there is evidence that many have started to regret that decision. A survey which asked people if they thought Brexit was the right or wrong decision has had a consistent majority of people saying it was the wrong decision since July 2022. This is even more pronounced among younger voters, with 61 percent of 18-25 year-olds saying they regret Brexit, compared with 38 percent of people aged 65 and over. Despite this, just 16 percent of 2016 Leave voters would change their vote if they could vote again in 2023, while 72 percent would vote the same way. Among those who think Brexit could have turned out well, 51 percent blame UK politicians for failing to get a good deal.
