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.
