    The majority that believed the people that we needed Brexit have pivoted, but now believe the same people telling them to look at a few migrants as its “clearly” their fault, so long as we don’t look at taxing the rich though.

      oh yea when greece was sinking migrant boats, people were trying to distract it from missing titan exlorer submersible that imploded on reddit, russia was pushing pretty hard on r/worldnews for the anti-immigration angle, they dint want people to suddenly forget about being anti-immigration and no the imploded sub, that was dominating the news.

      Yes, but the UK would have to switch to the Euro, and they wouldn’t get the rebate on their EU contribution. Maybe we could also require they completely switch to metric. And what the hell, drive on the correct side of the road.

      And finally, and I cannot express how important this is, they would have to have the hot and cold water come out of a single faucet.

      I would give Boris’s right arm, and Farage entirely to return to the EU. Brexit was every bit as disastrous as predicted

    Yeah no shit. Every single one of these nationalist pro-us movements are started by state sponsored actors from enemy nations, which is why social media should have always been regulated like broadcast media, but greedy geriatric fucks decided money was more important than voters and national stability.

      Cambridge Analitica was mainly funded by wealthy Americans.

      Not state sponsored, but the elites of that nation are certainly an enemy of Britain, Brits and even the rest of Europe and Europeans.

      PS: As a side note, who could forget Steve Bannon coming to Europe with money from amongst others the Koch brothers, stating very openly it was to “fund the Far-Right in Europe”. Notice how the Far-Right did in fact grow in the following years.

      russia is one of the sole backers of nationalist governments and right wing groups in EU and around the world, hence why you see them all suddeny rise at once recently, and also they start spouting the same propaganda verbatim.

    Brexit doesn’t appear in its context. It’s simply comparing results to the last survey in 2020. I think the author just saw an opportunity to hate on Brexit—fair enough—but you could pick any post-2020 event and it wold be just as true.

    The survey mostly addresses social and cultural topics; hardly anything relatable to Brexit

        The imbeciles are voting stock like everywhere else. The important question is why the British elite deemed it necessary to leave the EU.
