Three in five gen Z Britons would like new vote to rejoin EU, poll finds New polling indicates that a significant majority of Gen Z Britons, who were too young to vote in the 2016 EU referendum, believe Brexit has been a failure. Sixty percent of 18 to 28-year-olds would vote to rejoin the EU if given the chance, with a hypothetical referendum showing an 81% majority for rejoining. While many young people feel Brexit was poorly handled by politicians rather than fundamentally flawed, they are hesitant about revisiting the divisive debates of the past.

• 60% of Gen Z Britons (18-28 years old) would vote to rejoin the EU if given the opportunity.
• A hypothetical second referendum shows 81% support for rejoining the EU among those likely to vote.
• 50% of Gen Z Britons categorize Brexit as a failure, while only 16% view it as a success.
• Younger Gen Z (18-21) are more likely to view Brexit as a failure compared to older Gen Z (25-28).
• 37% of young Britons believe Brexit could have worked but was ‘ruined by politicians’, while 29% think it was ‘never going to work’.
• 62% of young Britons believe there should be a referendum on rejoining the EU within the next five years.
• Natural population turnover, with millions of older Leave voters dying and millions of young people aging into the electorate, suggests a vanishing pro-Brexit majority.
