Support for Brexit sinks to lowest level in UK


LONDON, Jan 29 (AFP): Only 30 percent of Britons still believe the UK made the right decision to leave the European Union, the lowest figure recorded by pollsters since shortly after the 2016 Brexit referendum, a YouGov poll showed on Wednesday.
Five years after Britain formally left the bloc on January 31, 2020, the number backing UK withdrawal compares to 46 percent in August 2016, five weeks after the vote.
Fifty-two percent of Britons voted to leave the EU in the referendum in June 2016. Among those who supported Brexit in the vote, one in six (18 percent) now believes it was an error.
Overall, 55 percent of those questioned were in favour of rejoining, according to the poll of 2,225 people conducted this month.
