A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a landmark poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK fully leaving the EU single market and customs unions.

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has been of benefit to them or the country.

    I voted against it. I told everyone I knew it would be a shitshow. Countless others called out all of the lies from the leave campaign.

    It’s not fun to have been proven right on something like this. 49% of britons did not want brexit and rightly knew how awful it would turn out.

    Did prove 51% are either/both racist and stupid

      Those percentages aren’t even correct for the entire population cause not everyone voted. And I would argue most people that didn’t vote just wanted it to stay same as, and didn’t think Leave would’ve polled so highly among the voters.
