More than half of UK citizens would vote to rejoin the EU if a new referendum were held, a nationwide survey has shown. The poll comes eight years after the Brexit vote led to Britain leaving the bloc.

According to the YouGov poll, which surveyed over 2,000 British citizens late last month and was published on Tuesday, as many as 59% of respondents said they would vote for a return to the EU in a hypothetical new referendum. In contrast, 41% said they would be against rejoining the bloc.

Over 60% of voters said they would support closer relations with Brussels that would not involve formally rejoining the bloc or its single market or customs union. This was opposed by only 17% of respondents, while another 20% were unsure.

YouGov also reported that among British voters, as many as 55% believe that the UK’s decision to leave the European Union was the wrong move, while 34% stand by the decision.

    I mean given the result was practically %50 %50 for the actual vote, %59 doesn’t seem like a significant difference

      There were a bunch of contributory factors to that outcome, but frankly the demographic skew was such that about half the change in opinion is down to more Brexit voters being dead than their opposites.
