Lord Ashcroft: Where are the Conservative voters on Brexit ten years on and are they changing their minds?

My most recent poll asked if life in Britain over the last few years had been better, worse or about the same than it would have been if we were still in the EU. On the left, the view is clear: around eight in ten Labour, Lib Dem and Green voters say “worse”. On the right, the view is more nuanced.

Happy Brexit Day

On June 23, 2016, the British people voted to withdraw from the European Union in a vote called Brexit. Not many people are happy with the outcome after vainglorious promises weren't kept. Experts say the British economy is between 4 and 8 smaller than it would have been had the country voted to remain in the EU. That would translate to much higher living standards and billions more pumped into public services, including the cherished National Health Service, which was promised an extra 350 million pounds (468 million) a week by Brexit campaigners. That pledge was emblazoned on their big red campaigning bus. Brexit has made the U.K. economy smaller than it otherwise would have been, said Jonathan Portes, professor at King's College London. The effect has not been a sudden collapse, but a gradual and cumulative drag on trade, investment and productivity, he wrote in an article for The UK in a Changing Europe think tank.
