Brexit Poll: Just 22% Of Britons Think It Was Good To Leave The EU

Since the Brexit referendum in 2016 and the eventual leaving of the EU, public support has continued to slide. With continuing worsening economic conditions in the UK, the British public has laid much of the blame for rising inflation with that decision, as well as the Tory Party in general. Only 7% of people think it has helped keep down prices in UK shops, against 63% who think Brexit has been a factor in fuelling inflation and the cost of living crisis. Many of those people who lied about the benefits of leaving are still in power and will likely finally pay a political price for the rash and ultimately disastrous move to leave the European Union when the next election is held sometime in 2024.

A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK leaving the EU single market and customs union.

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has benefited them or the country.

Just one in 10 believe leaving the EU has helped their personal financial situation, against 35% who say it has been bad for their finances, while just 9% say it has been good for the NHS, against 47% who say it has had a negative effect.
