Majority of Britons Support Re-joining The EU Single Market

• A poll indicates that a majority of Britons, 57%, favour re-joining the European Union's single market, even if it means reinstating the free movement of workers from the EU.
• Recent polls highlight a growing sentiment that Brexit was a mistake, contrasting with the key factor of curbing immigration that drove the 2016 vote to leave the EU.
• The survey follows data revealing a record-high annual net migration to the UK, more than double the pre-Brexit figure, emphasising the relevance of immigration concerns in the public discourse. Support for single-market membership is politically divided. Among those who would vote for the opposition Labour Party, 53% support it, while only 29% of those backing the governing Conservatives favouring a return to the single market.
• Regardless of Brexit views, 72% of Britons express a desire for closer ties with the European Union, showcasing a shared sentiment for enhanced relations with the EU.
