Europe-wide polling finds UK and EU leaders now out of step with public opinion and pursue ‘ambitious reset’

Summary

A survey by the European Council on Foreign Relations reveals growing public support in both the UK and EU for closer ties post-Brexit.

Notably, 54% of Brexit voters, including 59% in “red wall” areas, would accept free movement for access to the single market, with 68% of all UK voters in favor.

Across the EU, pluralities support economic concessions to improve UK cooperation on security, migration, and climate change.

The report urges leaders to align with public sentiment and pursue a bold “reset” of relations to address shared global challenges.

    I want them to come back so bad just so I can laugh at the malding that would come with the replacement of the pound with the euro.
