    Yeah no shit. Every single one of these nationalist pro-us movements are started by state sponsored actors from enemy nations, which is why social media should have always been regulated like broadcast media, but greedy geriatric fucks decided money was more important than voters and national stability.

      Cambridge Analitica was mainly funded by wealthy Americans.

      Not state sponsored, but the elites of that nation are certainly an enemy of Britain, Brits and even the rest of Europe and Europeans.

      PS: As a side note, who could forget Steve Bannon coming to Europe with money from amongst others the Koch brothers, stating very openly it was to “fund the Far-Right in Europe”. Notice how the Far-Right did in fact grow in the following years.

    The majority that believed the people that we needed Brexit have pivoted, but now believe the same people telling them to look at a few migrants as its “clearly” their fault, so long as we don’t look at taxing the rich though.

      I would give Boris’s right arm, and Farage entirely to return to the EU. Brexit was every bit as disastrous as predicted

      I would vote against. I dont want them slowing done European progress again. Unless, they come back without parliamentary power (alongside what others already mentioned). Maybe let’s gove them a Switzerland status for a trial period.

    Brexit doesn’t appear in its context. It’s simply comparing results to the last survey in 2020. I think the author just saw an opportunity to hate on Brexit—fair enough—but you could pick any post-2020 event and it wold be just as true.

    The survey mostly addresses social and cultural topics; hardly anything relatable to Brexit

        The imbeciles are voting stock like everywhere else. The important question is why the British elite deemed it necessary to leave the EU.
