Brexit Voters Regret: Single Market Access Trumps Free Movement Control
A new ECFR report reveals significant shifts in public opinion regarding EU-UK relations, with majorities in both regions favoring closer ties. Strikingly, 54% of British Leave voters would accept free movement for access to the single market. This desire for closer integration extends across various policy areas, including security, economy, and climate change, exceeding the current governmental stances on both sides of the Channel. The report urges UK and EU leaders to act decisively, aligning policy with the public’s clear preference for a strengthened partnership.
