A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a landmark poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK fully leaving the EU single market and customs unions.
The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has been of benefit to them or the country.
Particularly given at the time it was presented as an opinion vote. Of course when it turned out the way the ERG wanted they couldn’t wait to push a retcon to make it binding through parliament because small margins apparently mean unassailable “will of the people”. Had it gone the other way they would have used it to push for another binding one “look nearly half of people want it… bla bla bla”.
