Five years after the brexit, most British people think it was a mistake.
Brexit supporters promised a fresh era of British sovereignty, combating immigration and redirecting funds from the EU to wellness care, but 5 years later many indicators propose that these announcements have failed – said the paper "Independent", commenting on YouGov's data.
According to the latest studies of this public opinion poll centre, 55 percent of the British think that brexit is wrong, and only 30 percent think it was right.. The public's opinion on the implementation of the brexit is even worse. 62% of citizens believe that it was alternatively unsuccessful with only 11% of those who considered it a success.
At the same time, 64% of respondents are in favour of closer relations with the EU and 55% are in favour of Britain joining the EU again.. Only 27% support the maintenance of the current level of relations, and 19% advocate their further relaxation – according to YouGov data.
According to the estimates of researchers from the London School of Economics, quoted in December by the Guardian Journal, brexit led in the first 2 years to a £27 billion drop in trade with the EU. Barriers forced thousands of tiny companies to halt trading with the EU, but the overall impact of the brexit was little than expected – they agreed.
The current Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the pursuit of "better cooperation", "mature relations" and "reset" in relations with the EU after the brexit. However, it stresses that there is no return to the single market, customs union or freedom of movement for people from the EU.
That's how brexit went.
On 23 June 2016, UK citizens voted to talk with the EU by 51.9 to 48.1 percent of the votes. “The British voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected,” said then Prime Minister David Cameron, announcing his resignation.
The UK formally joined the EU at the end of January 2020, but for the next 11 months, during a transitional period, it continued to contribute to the Union budget and respect EU rights and regulations and remained part of the EU's single marketplace and customs union.
Brexit preceded long negotiations and its date was postponed twice. Among the most hard topics were the rights and position of citizens on both sides of the La Manche Canal, the financial settlement and the prospects for restoring control at the Irish border with Northern Ireland, which was sought to avoid endangering the island's peace process.
After the end of the transitional period on 1 January 2021, the trade agreement between the UK and the European Union entered into force a fewer days earlier.
