- New research by Best for Britain indicates that over half of Britons, 53 per cent, now support the UK fully rejoining the European Union.
- This support for full EU membership surpasses that for alternative 'halfway house' options such as a customs union (49 per cent) or single market entry (46 per cent).
- A YouGov poll also found that 61 per cent of people back the government's current efforts to 'reset' and build closer ties with the EU.
- Support for rejoining the EU is significantly higher among Labour, Liberal Democrat, and Green Party voters, while being considerably lower among Conservative and Reform UK supporters.
- Pro-EU campaigners and political figures, including Neil Kinnock and Sir Keir Starmer, argue that closer economic ties with the EU are essential for the UK's economic security and influence, especially given current global instability.
