Seven years following the Brexit referendum, three quarters of Brits have lost confidence in their politicians. That comes from a survey for the London think tank “UK in a Changing Europe” (“United Kingdom in a changing Europe”), which was published on the anniversary of the referendum this Friday. 75 percent of respondents said: “I have lost confidence in British politicians in recent years.”
In the referendum on June 23, 2016, the British voted 52 to 48 percent to leave the European Union. This was completed on January 31, 2020. As the survey shows, a majority of 52 percent is now of the opinion that Brexit was not a success. Only one in ten sees it differently. 74 percent believe that politicians act more in their own interests than in the interests of the general public.
Nevertheless, there can be no question of “Bregret” – a neologism of Brexit and regret (regret): Of those who voted for Brexit, only 15 percent regret it.
Almost half of those surveyed (48 percent) would vote for a return to the EU in a referendum today. Only regarding a third (32 percent) would be in favor of staying out. A majority of people in Great Britain (54 percent) simply don’t want to hear anything more regarding Brexit.
