Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine and Donald Trump\u2019s election as US president had \u201cfundamentally changed the context\u201d of EU-UK relations, the report by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a remarkable consensus on both sides of the Channel that the time is ripe for a reassessment of EU-UK relations,\u201d it concluded, with closer relations being the most popular option in every country surveyed \u2013 and public opinion on the question well ahead of government stances. Based on polling of more than 9,000 people across the UK and the EU\u2019s five most populous countries \u2013 Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Poland \u2013 in the weeks after Trump\u2019s election win in November, the ECFR study found the strongest enthusiasm for renewed ties were in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most striking finding was that 54% of Britons who voted leave, including 59% of voters in \u201cred wall seats\u201d, said in exchange for single market access they would now accept full free movement for EU and UK citizens to travel, live and work across borders. This could be because the surge in net migration to the UK after 2016 meant that Brexit was no longer seen by its supporters as the answer on immigration, the report suggested.<\/p>\n<p>Among all UK voters, 68% of respondents would now back free movement in exchange for single market access, with 19% opposed and majority support among supporters of every party apart from Reform UK (44% of whose voters also backed the idea). A similar percentage of Britons supported a reciprocal youth mobility scheme for 18- to 30-year-olds, seen as a key ask for EU leaders in return for an improved Brexit deal but has so far been resisted by the British prime minister, Keir Starmer.<\/p>\n<p>Given today\u2019s global circumstances, the report said, the UK and EU should \u201cgo big and go fast\u201d in restoring links. It added: \u201cThe EU and the UK are both very vulnerable to prevailing global events and a reset of relations is the single most effective way to make both sides stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report argued that while EU politicians and officials have been sceptical about the idea of offering any special terms to the UK, and Starmer and his government are similarly cautious about pushing for improved ties, public opinion on both sides of the Channel appeared significantly different from those stances.<\/p>\n<p>Among British voters, there was clear support for a closer relationship with the EU, with 55% saying they would back closer links with the bloc, against 10% preferring more distant ties and 22% wanting to keep them as they were now. This belief was shared by many Conservative supporters, particularly over migration and security. It was mostly Reform UK voters who were more sceptical about the benefits of closer links to the EU. Across the EU, pluralities in every country polled agreed: 45% of Germans said they wanted closer relations with the UK, as well as 44% of Poles, 41% of Spaniards, 40% of Italians and 34% of French.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2024\/dec\/12\/majority-of-brexit-voters-would-accept-free-movement-to-access-single-market-uk-eu\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/majority-of-brexit-voters-would-accept-free-movement-to-access-single-market\/\">Majority of Brexit voters \u2018would accept free movement\u2019 to access single market<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2165,17293,3669,14233,606,607,608,17294],"class_list":["post-136006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-brexit","tag-free-movement","tag-majority","tag-single-market","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-voters"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136006"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136006\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
