If quoting from a source you provided is cherry picking, I’m cherry picking. You appear to have doubts about your source, kindly be more careful in providing sources next time.


But on the substance, there is a difference between saying the original decision is wrong and wanting a return to full EU membership. So I asked Chat to clarify and it supports the 35% number:


. …..


Recent opinion polls indicate a growing sentiment among Britons favoring rejoining the European Union (EU). As of January 2025, a YouGov survey revealed that 55% of respondents believe it was wrong for the UK to leave the EU.

yougov.co.uk


In terms of rejoining, an Opinium poll from November 2024 found that 33% of participants support rejoining the EU, while an additional 23% prefer negotiating a closer relationship without full membership.

These figures suggest that while a significant portion of the UK population is dissatisfied with Brexit, only about a third currently advocate for full EU membership. However, a majority appear to favor strengthening ties with the EU in some capacity.


…..


Only a third want to go back to full EU membership. As I have said before these things depend on how you ask the question. Sources and framing the issue, two points to remember.

I only know one family who are die hard remainers. No-one else I know, across all of the parties, wants to rejoin.

Also, none of us have ever been asked to give opinions for a Poll !!

‘They did what they set out to do avoid the horrors of war’…., while leaving that to other 20 year olds. The kicker is the message of condolence they sent to Germany after Hitler’s death.
