British Public Supports Closer EU Ties But Rejects Return to Membership

British citizens favor establishing closer relationships with the European Union while opposing a full return to membership, according to a new poll conducted by Ipsos. The survey results suggest a nuanced public opinion in the United Kingdom regarding its future relationship with the bloc it left in 2020 following the Brexit referendum. The findings indicate that while Britons may be open to enhanced cooperation and stronger ties with EU institutions, they remain resistant to reversing the Brexit decision and rejoining the 27-member union as a full member state.
