Brexit Regret: Five Years On, UK Public Opinion Shifts
0:00:01 Introduction: Five years after the UK's departure from the European Union, public opinion has significantly shifted, with more people than ever believing Brexit was the wrong decision.
0:00:28 Key Points: The video explores newly released polling data, examines the reasons behind growing "Brexit regret," compares promised outcomes with actual results, and considers the potential for political change.
0:01:09 Public Opinion: According to YouGov's January 2025 data, only 30% of Britons believe the UK was right to vote for Brexit, while 55% believe it was wrong. This marks the lowest recorded support for Brexit in YouGov's polling.
0:01:24 Voter Breakdown: 88% of 2016 Remain voters view Brexit as wrong, while 66% of Leave voters still see it as right. Notably, one in six Leave voters (approximately 16.6%) now believe it was the wrong decision.
0:01:42 Desire to Rejoin: Polling by Redfield and Wilton found that 57% (excluding "don't knows") would vote to rejoin the EU, while 43% would vote to stay out.
0:02:05 Demographic Shift: Part of the shift in opinion is attributed to "demographic churn," with older, more pro-Brexit voters passing away and younger, more pro-EU individuals joining the electorate. 60% of 18-24 year olds would now vote to rejoin.
0:02:33 Perceived Failure: Only 11% of Britons believe Brexit has been a success, while 62% consider it a failure. Among Leave voters, only 22% view it as a success, compared to 32% who see it as a failure.
0:03:04 Specific Issues: Brexit is seen as having a negative impact on most areas. The only area with some perceived positive impact is the UK's control over its own laws (31% positive), and response to covid-19, (23% positive).
0:03:47 Economic Impact: Brexit is overwhelmingly viewed as negative for the economy: 57% believe it negatively impacted international trade, 64% British businesses, 65% the UK economy, and 58% public finances.
0:04:22 OBR Forecasts: The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecasts that Brexit will reduce the UK's potential productivity by 4% and the volume of UK imports and exports by 15% in the long run. New trade deals with non-EU countries are not expected to have a material impact.
0:05:07 Immigration: 52% believe Brexit had a negative impact on immigration levels, with only 6% seeing a positive impact. Net migration has soared to record levels despite promises to reduce it.
0:06:10 Political Stalemate: Despite public opinion, there's a perceived "Westminster consensus" that Brexit is untouchable.
0:06:22 Labour's Position: The Labour government aims for a reset in UK-EU relations and closer ties but has ruled out rejoining the single market, customs union, or free movement.
0:06:54 Liberal Democrats' Stance: The Liberal Democrats are pushing for a new customs union deal with the EU.
0:07:04 Future Uncertainty: The video concludes that if negative views on Brexit persist, other political parties may be forced to reconsider their positions.
