According to Professor Sir John Curtice, Brexit is increasingly viewed as a disappointment by UK voters, with many now advocating for a return to EU membership. In his contribution to Sir Anthony Seldon's book, ‘The Brexit Effect,’ Curtice highlights that the 2016 referendum has not resolved the debate over Britain's EU membership. He notes that the initial decision to leave has not withstood the test of time, leading to a marked decline in support for Brexit. Analysis of 500 polls since 2016 shows a consistent shift away from the pro-Brexit stance, with voters expressing dissatisfaction over economic conditions and immigration levels. Contrary to expectations that leaving the EU would reduce immigration, there has been an increase in non-EU immigration, further fueling discontent. The campaign 'Europe: The Way Back' aims to address these issues, providing news and analysis on the impact of Brexit and exploring potential pathways for re-engagement with Europe. Curtice concludes that the hopes of Leave voters have largely been dashed, as many now believe Brexit has resulted in a worse economic situation and diminished global influence.
