One in five who voted for Brexit now think it was the wrong decision
The wider public now think Britain was wrong to leave the European Union by 56% to 32%
Almost two years since Britain left the EU on 31 December 2020, YouGov data shows support for Brexit is at a record low, with only 32% of the British public saying it was right to vote to leave and 56% saying it was wrong to leave.
