Despite the Conservative election success, the campaign suggested, as it had done in the last two years, that there was a small but consistent majority in favour of remaining in the European Union.
On average, the last 6 polls before the election put Remain 53% and Leave on 47%. In a survey during the election campaign, over half 56% said that the economy would worsen as a result of BREXIT, fewer than a quarter 21% believed it would be better.
According to The Guardian, "While leaving has proven harder than leavers were willing to admit, the process has underlined the validity of the longstanding Eurosceptic claim that the EU, as Douglas Hurd once put it, had inveigled its way into the nooks and crannies of the nation's life. And like an invasive draper, its removal is causing damage.
In both Nothern Ireland and Scotland BREXIT is undermining devolution settlements with EU membership in mind.
According to, Professor Anund Menon, public opinion about BREXIT has changed since 2016. Some people believe that a significant shift in public opinion might allow the decision made in 2016 to be reconsidered.
As I am very much against BREXIT, because union is strength, I sincerely hope that British public opinion will demand a new referendum that will reunite the UK with the Europian Union.
