Majority of Brexit voters ‘would accept free movement’ to access single market

Europe-wide polling finds UK and EU leaders now out of step with public opinion and pursue ‘ambitious reset’

A majority of Britons who voted to leave the EU would now accept a return to free movement in exchange for access to the single market, according to a cross-Europe study that also found a reciprocal desire in member states for closer links with the UK.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Donald Trump’s election as US president had “fundamentally changed the context” of EU-UK relations, the report by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank said.
