Brexit has made everything worse, new poll reveals

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"British voters believe Brexit has made things worse in the UK, from the economy to immigration, and left the nation with even less control over its own destiny, according to a major new poll. The findings, which also revealed that European voters would welcome us back with open arms if we applied to rejoin the EU, are likely to pile further pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to rebuild ties with the EU 10 years after Britain voted to leave in a referendum."

"The survey, involving 20,000 people from more than 27 leading democracies, including the US and Europe, suggests that Britons are the most pessimistic about their nation's future. And the UK's disillusioned Gen Z are losing faith in democracy. They are more than twice as likely as so-called Baby Boomers, those aged 61 to 79, to opt for an authoritarian leader who rules without elections."

The Independent deploys reporters to cover developing stories across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' focused on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet provides free access to reporting and solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism. A major poll of 20,000 people across more than 27 democracies finds Britons the most pessimistic about their nation's future and widespread belief that Brexit has made the economy, immigration, and national control worse. European voters would welcome the UK back if it applied to rejoin the EU. Disillusioned UK Gen Z respondents are markedly more open to authoritarian leaders than older generations, increasing pressure to rebuild ties with the EU.
