60% of Britons in Gen Z would vote in favor of rejoining the EU if given the chance, expressing dissatisfaction with the 2016 Brexit and believing that, 10 years later, it has failed. These are people who did not vote at the time because of their age.
When the results are filtered to focus only on those likely to turn out in a hypothetical second referendum, the difference becomes an overwhelming lead, with the pro-European rejoin camp reaching 81%, compared with just 19% in favor of remaining outside the EU.
The UK referendum on Brexit was held on June 23, 2016, with Leave prevailing at 51.89% against Remain at 48.11%.
The More in Common study shows that 50% of Britons in Gen Z describe Brexit as a failure, 16% consider it a success, and 34% remain undecided, while among those aged 18 to 21, 53% describe Brexit as a failure.
Luke Tryl, executive director of More in Common, said: “Ten years later, our poll of Britons aged 18 to 28 reveals how they feel about Brexit: they tend to believe it has failed, while three in five want a new referendum on rejoining. However, interestingly, few believe that the principle of Brexit itself was doomed from the start — like the wider public, they tend to say it could have worked well, but that politicians ruined it.”
