According to a poll published today, most Britons are in favor of rejoining the European Union's single market, even if it means bringing European workers back to live in their own country.
Drastically limiting immigration was one of the main reasons why Britons voted to leave the European Union in 2016. Polls in recent months have shown that most people now believe Brexit was a mistake. Today's survey comes a week after official figures showed that net migration to the UK broke all records last year, more than double that of 2015, the year before the Brexit referendum.
The poll shows that almost 6 in 10 (57%) Britons support joining the single market. Only one in five disagree.
Among voters who had supported Brexit and now said they would vote Labor if an election were held tomorrow, 53% said they were in favor of joining the single market and 31% against. Of those who voted for Brexit and intend to vote Conservative in the election, only 29% favor a return to the single market and 54% disagree. Labour, which is leading the polls ahead of the general election, has promised to try to improve Britain's trade relationship with the EU. However, its leader, Keir Starmer, has said he does not want a return to the single market.
Overall, 72% of Britons want their country to have closer ties with the EU, and most Leave and Remain voters in the 2016 referendum agree.
The survey was conducted among a sample of 2,138 people, YouGov reported.
