London — A decade after the public referendum vote that led to the United Kingdom’s “Brexit” from the European Union, a majority of Britons now say leaving the bloc was a mistake, according to a recent survey by the independent YouGov polling organization. “Brexit has been an absolute disaster for the country,” one pro-EU campaigner told France 24 on Monday, the eve of the referendum anniversary. “Not just economically, but loss of freedom of movement, families being split up.” Brexit has split Britain “down the middle, and nothing good has come of that since,” said another. Demonstrators take part in the National Rejoin March, calling for the United Kingdom to rejoin the European Union on the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum, on June 20, 2026, in London, United Kingdom.
