UK Support for Rejoining EU Passes 50% for First Time Since Brexit
Growing Protests and Demands
29 November 2023
Protests and demands for the UK to rejoin the European Union (EU) are steadily increasing, with public support reaching over 50% for the first time since Brexit. Citizens are voicing their concerns over the negative impact Brexit has had on the UK economy, trade, and social cohesion.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has dismissed the suggestion that Brexit could be in jeopardy, but Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has acknowledged that the UK is facing a "difficult road ahead." The European Union has expressed its willingness for the UK to rejoin, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stating that the door is open for the UK to "fix Brexit."
The decision to rejoin the EU would require a UK government application and agreement from all EU member states. However, the growing public support and the potential economic and social benefits of rejoining the EU suggest that this possibility is becoming increasingly likely.
