British Majority Now Regrets Brexit, Gen Z Backs Fresh EU Vote

A decade after the referendum, polling published in June 2026 shows a majority of British voters regard the Leave vote as wrong—a shift that sharpens among Gen Z, where majorities support a fresh referendum on EU membership. The trend has strengthened since formal departure. EU voters, meanwhile, view Britain positively, removing a structural obstacle to rapprochement that existed in 2020. For Labour, the political arithmetic is unforgiving: aggregate opinion favors re-engagement, but alienating Leave voters in swing constituencies risks electoral losses.
