Two-thirds of EU citizens back UK rejoining bloc, survey finds

Even voters for far-right and Eurosceptic parties back closer relations, polling says

Two-thirds of EU citizens would back Britain rejoining the bloc, while most UK voters say Brexit has been bad for the issues they care about and want closer ties, including levels of integration - such as free movement - long seen as toxic, a survey has found.

Ten years after the Brexit referendum, the polling by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), a thinktank, found 66% of respondents across 15 countries felt UK membership was a very good, good or neither a good nor a bad" idea.
