Summary

A survey by the European Council on Foreign Relations reveals growing public support in both the UK and EU for closer ties post-Brexit.

Notably, 54% of Brexit voters, including 59% in “red wall” areas, would accept free movement for access to the single market, with 68% of all UK voters in favor.

Across the EU, pluralities support economic concessions to improve UK cooperation on security, migration, and climate change.

The report urges leaders to align with public sentiment and pursue a bold “reset” of relations to address shared global challenges.

      I mean yes and it also seems like people voting for specific economic outcomes without the foggiest idea of any of the consequences is the new normal. I don’t know if it’s the garbage media ecosystem, the garbage education system or the garbage economic system that let’s some people put their fingers on the scale but something’s fucked. Probably all of the above.
