An opinion poll conducted by the British newspaper "The Independent" revealed that two-thirds of Britons support a referendum on their country's return to the European Union (EU), two years after Britain's withdrawal from the bloc.

The poll revealed that opposition to the idea of holding a new referendum declined significantly, as the results of the survey resulted in the rejection of 24% of the participants, while 65% supported the matter.

The British newspaper pointed out that the Britons believe that the economy and the influence of their country on the world stage and its ability to control its borders has declined.

Those changes led to an increase in the percentage of those who want to hold a new referendum to return to the European Union.

Britain adopted the decision to leave the European Union after a popular referendum in 2016, and the measure became effective by January 2021.
