More than six out of 10 voters believe Brexit has either gone badly or worse than they expected – a year after the UK left the EU, according to an anniversary poll for the Observer.
The Opinium survey – coming a week after the minister in charge of Brexit, Lord Frost, resigned from Boris Johnson’s government – also found that 42% of people who voted Leave in 2016 had a negative view of how Brexit had turned out so far.
26% of Leave supporters said it had gone worse than they expected, while 16% of those who voted for Brexit said they had expected it to go badly and had been proved right.
Among people who voted Remain, 86% said it had gone badly or worse than they expected. Overall, just 14% of all voters said Brexit had gone better than expected. » | Toby Helm | Saturday, December 25, 2021
The penny is slowly dropping that the electorate have made a grave mistake in voting for Brexit. Increasingly, they will come to realise that they have been led up the garden path by chancers and the few politicians at the top seeking to line their own pockets at the expense of the many. Brexit was, is, and will remain a stupid idea. – © Mark
