And less than a third would back Brexit in a new vote.
Research by More in Common for the Sunday Times reveals public attitudes towards Europe have shifted over the past decade.
The poll of more than 2,000 people found 29% would vote to leave the EU if the Brexit vote was repeated, compared to 52% in the referendum in June 2016.

I am in a pub in a small town in the countryside. The group of old men in the corner (these pubs ALWAYS have a group of old men in the corner) are having a vigorous argument about Brexit. I'm not sure they realise it's 2025 not 2015.

Introducing a New Brexit-Related Uncertainty Index: Its Evolution and Economic Consequences
Important game-changer economic events and transformations cause uncertainties that may affect investment decisions, capital flows, international trade, and macroeconomic variables. One such major transformation is Brexit, which refers to the multiyear process through which the UK withdrew from the EU. This study develops and uses a new Brexit-Related Uncertainty Index (BRUI). In creating this index, we apply Text Mining, Context Window, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Large Language Mod…

Trump’s stories serve to exaggerate his foresight about and knowledge of domestic and foreign affairs,
embellish his biography and record in office, and diminish his political opponents.
The stories tend to be colorful even though they’re fake.
Trump’s historical fiction is sprinkled with vivid details and make-believe quotes,
all the better to make it seem authentic and get it to stick in the minds of voters.

Analysis: Donald Trump’s long history of fake history
President Donald Trump told a story on Monday about how he “made a correct prediction” about the outcome of the United Kingdom’s 2016 Brexit referendum while he was visiting his golf course in Scotland “the day before the vote.”

Multi-polarization during the 9th European Parliament
Brexit, a global pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and record inflation - few legislative bodies have faced such a cascade of shocks as the European Parliament did during its 9th term (2019-2024). Using the Bipartite Configuration Model and a set of network statistics, this research explores how multi-polarization was characterized during this term by constructing and analyzing co-voting networks across all legislative subjects and within specific legislative subjects. The results cont…
