60% of Gen Z Britons Would Rejoin EU as 50% Call Brexit a Failure

3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Jun 23

New polling of 440 Britons aged 18 to 28 found 60% would vote to rejoin the EU, versus 9% who would choose to stay out.
Among likely voters in a hypothetical second referendum, support widened to 81% for rejoining against 19% for remaining outside the bloc.
Half of Gen Z respondents said Brexit has failed, while 16% called it a success; 37% said it could have worked but was ruined by politicians.
Support for another vote was also strong: 62% said Britain should hold a referendum on rejoining within five years, with only 11% opposed.
The findings add to evidence that demographic turnover since the 2016 51.9%-48.1% Leave win has eroded the original pro-Brexit majority.

This clear difference highlights a powerful call for a new direction, with the younger generation—many of whom were too young to vote in the original referendum—now voicing strong support for renewed EU membership and signaling a significant change in public sentiment.
