Britons are showing a dramatic change as a result of Brexit, with the percentages of those who feel proud of their country falling to the point of "national division", as revealed by a study by King's College London (KCL) and polling company Ipsos.
The research findings reveal a “frightening rise in the sense of national division” that began after Brexit and appears to have “transformed” into partisan, political and other divisions over immigration and “culture wars,” while life was better in the past.
Feelings of pride in the country are increasingly affecting fewer and fewer Britons, falling from 56% to 46% in the last five years.
Regarding the feeling of division in the UK overall, 84% of people said they felt this way, up from 74% in 2020.
Exactly half of people said they believe the culture in the UK is changing too quickly, while a similar percentage (48%) say they wish their country was “the way it used to be”.
The survey also showed that 86% of people now think there is tension between immigrants and people born in the UK, up from 74% in 2023 and marking a new record.
And the findings show that public opinion on transgender rights has "changed significantly", with those who believe they have "gone too far" more than doubling, reaching 39% from 17% in 2020.
Also, 48% of the public said they consider the term "Woke" an insult rather than a compliment, up from 24% in 2020.
