| People in every part of the Midlands now regret Brexit and think it was the wrong thing for the country, results of a major new survey have suggested.
Not one constituency in the region stands by the decision to leave the European Union, seven years on from the divisive referendum. Many parts of the Midlands voted in favour of Brexit - and some heavily.
The Britain-wide poll was carried out by Focaldata and saw more than 10,000 people surveyed during December. A majority of people in only one area of the whole country still believe Brexit was a good idea - Boston and Skegness in Lincolnshire.
While the number surveyed in each constituency was relatively small the overall result reveals a trend of changing attitudes on Brexit.
It's possible current issues like the cost of living crisis and the war in Ukraine may have altered views, even if they are not directly related to Brexit.
Places like Mansfield, Bolsover, Stoke-on-Trent, Cannock Chase, Walsall and Dudley were among the most heavily in favour of leaving the EU at the 2016 vote.
Those who took part in the survey were simply asked whether they agreed with the statement: "Britain wrong to leave the EU".
As well as choosing agree and disagree, many respondents also said they didn't know, suggesting some are still confused about whether exiting the EU was the right thing for the country. |
