Only one in 10 feel leaving the EU has helped their finances, while just 9% say it has benefited the NHS, despite £350m a week pledge

A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a landmark poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK fully leaving the EU single market and customs unions.

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has been of benefit to them or the country.

    Britons voted for it, now they think it’s completely failed. I don’t know guys, but there some questions that we should just not ask Britons!!?

    Personally voted against Brexit, but always believed it should never have even gone to a referendum. We are a parliamentary democracy and parliament should have decided.

      I voted against it. I told everyone I knew it would be a shitshow. Countless others called out all of the lies from the leave campaign.

      It’s not fun to have been proven right on something like this. 49% of britons did not want brexit and rightly knew how awful it would turn out.

      Did prove 51% are either/both racist and stupid

        Voter turnout was 72% so only 37.5% of eligible voters voted leave and 28% of eligible voters just did not care, which makes it worse imo, especially if you have kids and can’t bring yourself to vote for their future.

    Arguably, there was also Corona and Europe is also inflation-ridden at the moment. So let’s see in a few years how it develops. Britain is surely robbed of some good chances now, but they have the free choice to make better legislation than EU, and make good trade agreements with EU.
