A recent survey by Deltapoll for The Mirror reveals that a majority of UK citizens would support rejoining the EU if another Brexit referendum were held. Approximately 58% of potential voters expressed their preference to return to the European Union. The study, conducted ahead of the upcoming 10th anniversary of the 2016 Brexit vote, also highlighted that support for reversing Brexit is particularly strong among younger demographics, with over 80% of 18 to 24-year-olds favoring rejoining the EU.
Interestingly, the survey found that while Conservative and Reform party supporters lean towards maintaining the current status quo, Labour and Lib Dem backers are more inclined to support rejoining the EU. Geographically, every region in the UK showed a preference for returning to the bloc, with Scotland leading at 73%, followed by London and Wales. Even in the Midlands and the North, where support for rejoining was lower, the majority still favored returning to the EU.
Keir Starmer has been proactive in rebuilding the UK’s relationship with the EU, culminating in a trade deal with Brussels. Additionally, the UK government’s decision to rejoin the Erasmus+ program allows British students to study in European universities post-Brexit. Despite calls for closer ties with the EU, Starmer has ruled out the possibility of reversing Brexit, emphasizing a desire for enhanced collaboration without rejoining the EU.
While some voices like Health Secretary Wes Streeting and TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak advocate for closer links with the EU, the UK government has reiterated its stance on not rejoining the single market and customs union. The Prime Minister’s spokesman emphasized the importance of resetting and strengthening the UK’s relationship with the EU while maintaining their established red lines.
The survey, which involved 1,997 British adults, was conducted online between December 16th and 18th, 2025. Data has been weighted to ensure a representative sample of the British adult population.
