How would Britons vote if the EU referendum were taking place in 2023?

A majority of Britons (55%) say that, were the EU referendum taking place now, seven years after the original date, they would vote to Remain. Three in ten 31% say they would vote to Leave. This gives a headline voting intention of 64% to 36%.

The results show that one in six Leave voters (18%) now say that they would vote to Remain were the EU referendum being held now. Almost three quarters (73%) say they would still vote to leave the EU.

God I hate the influence America has had on British politics.

That's interesting you think such closed-minded, right wing people are limited to the US and that mentality was "exported" or "influenced".

I got news for you, people are people wherever there are people. This isn't influence of one country over the other. Give me a population, I'll show you right wingers, left wingers, and centrists. The Brits who voted for Brexit were as inherently racist and zenophobic as any of those good ol' boys in the South of the US (or other regions, it's not limited to that one).

No country or people are special, we're all the same.

The older, ever-Tories were always going to vote Brexit, no matter what. Trumpism, however, played into the hands of a lot of younger people who themselves later admitted, as many of us know such people, that they really had no business voting the way they did - many went on to vote Tory for the first time ever & can't really point at anything that makes sense to them right now. They got played by Cummings & Cambridge Analytica. It's even on Cummings' blog, if he has not taken it down. So there is validity to both angles but the combination is what sealed it.
