- A recent poll indicates that more UK citizens see Brexit as harmful, especially regarding the economy, bureaucracy, and border control.
- 57% of respondents think Boris Johnson misled the public during the 2016 Brexit campaign with false promises.
- A slim majority of 51% would vote to rejoin the EU if given the chance again, with younger voters showing stronger support.
- Despite government claims of Brexit benefits like trade deals and vaccine rollout, most voters have yet to experience positive effects.
The British people were deceived. The Brexit campaign was based on a range of emotional prejudices that set a mood of national frustration. This poll reflects a growing disenchantment as people recognise the scale of the deception.
