A recent poll by More in Common for The Sunday Times found that only 29% of British adults would still vote to leave the EU. But as Gully Foyle explains, this is not true. The devil is in the details. As the article announcing the poll results is behind a paywall, most have only seen The Sunday Times’ headline.
In a second blow to The Sunday Times, a larger poll was being conducted while The Times was preparing its article. And this poll showed the opposite.

No, Brits don’t want to rejoin the EU
By Gully Foyle, as published by Academy of Ideas on 7 August 2025
The Sunday Times published an article at the weekend, regarding a poll of 2,000 British adults conducted on its behalf by More in Common. This poll showed what they reported as a turning of the tables on support for Brexit, with only 29 per cent of those included in the poll saying they would still vote to leave the EU.
The story has been picked up by numerous outlets in the intervening days, and the usual pro-EU suspects on social media have been keen to capitalise on what appears to be an important change in support in the British electorate. But as ever with catchy headlines, the devil is hidden in the details of the article, and the raw data from the polling itself.
One of the joys of modern digital news consumption in the social-media age is that narratives are easily spun by catchy headlines to those who don’t read the articles. Moreover, the ever-growing increase in paywalled content means that the vast majority of readers could not and would not read the article even if they wanted to. So, the gem that Conservative supporters and Reform UK supporters, who between them currently represent over 50 per cent of voting intention, overwhelmingly still support staying out of the EU, is lost on all but a handful of those who would be exposed to the headline. This detail is also, of course, left out by those who are peddling the narrative over social media.
Unbeknown to The Sunday Times, another larger poll was being conducted as they were preparing their article. However, this one was looking to avoid the use of the dreaded “B word” completely and instead focusing on the underlying wishes of the British electorate and where they would ultimately like power to preside.
The poll was conducted by YouGov on behalf of Dr. Richard Johnson of Queen Mary University of London (“QMUL”), and spoke to over 4,500 British adults asking them to answer a single question on 20 areas of legislative competence – areas which were all either fully or partially ceded previously to the EU when the UK was still a member, and where changes (read: “Benefits”) have been able to be made since our departure. The results could not have been more authoritative and damning for those still wishing to see a return to the EU.
On all 20 areas of competence, the most popular answer selected was that the UK government alone should ultimately be in control in setting policy and legislation, without involvement or instruction from international bodies or neighbouring political unions. This was not only the most popular answer, but also saw overall majority support in 17 of the 20 areas.
The polling only gets more interesting as you drill down into the details on party affiliation, however. The pro-EU “B*llocks to Brexit” Liberal Democrats gave majority support to legislative independence in a whopping 16 of the 20 competencies. This does put quite the dampener on the notion that pro-EU Lib Dems “knew what they were voting for” in 2016.
The outcome of the YouGov/QMUL polling should not be of major surprise to followers of UK polling, as the disconnect between sovereignty and EU membership has always been apparent. To see this in its clearest form, you only need to look at the weekly voter intention polling conducted by WeThink/Omnisis from November 2022 to June 2024. These weekly snapshots asked their respondents two questions nestled between their other topics of the day. First, how would you vote in another EU referendum and secondly, how would you vote in another referendum if the Euro was mandatory (which it now is for EU membership)? The result was always the same – that the first question would see a majority for rejoining, and the second would see a reversal and majority for staying out.
It seems from all this that there are a couple of takeaways from these polls – that no matter how much opinion may change on whether it was right or wrong to vote to leave the EU in 2016, the British public does not want the UK to join the EU on the terms it would have to accept in 2025.

Do other members have to support an EU member under military attack ??
They’re all, or nearly all NATO members, so from that membership have the obligation to help.
This also still applies to the United Kingdom.
The BREXIT makes no difference.
Well, to what did the BREXIT actually make any difference? It only made things more difficult which were NOT on the wishlist of those who voted in favor of the BREXIT, while all the things that needed improvement are still bad.
The European Union is actually not that far from falling apart by itself.
The problems it creates by itself are just too big to handle and more and more people in the E.U. are having doubts about their E.U. membership.
So rejoining the sinking ship doesn’t make any sense at all!
Greetings from the Netherlands,
Petra
In the first place-we NEVER left the EU (that is the Holy Bible’s prophesied 10 kingdoms)
But in name only!!!
Such is the democratic deception we live under!
How can you leave someplace when you are already in it???
The Holy Bible declares in no uncertain terms- (if you can receive it) that there is a soon coming revived Roman Empire that will usher in Antichrist…
Disagree. We are an island nation off the coast of Afroeurasia. No such continent as Europe, just a political construct. It’s all Asia. Pull up a map of Afroeurasia and you won’t find Europe or the UK.
I’m not sure whether or not you are aware that I am a believer in Biblical geocentric truth – or to put it in a cruder way-am a flat earther?
My map of the world is an entirely different map to yours.
The Bible teaches in no uncertain terms that the centre of the geocentric earth is the city of the great King. Matthew 5:35.
In the soon coming millenial Day the Word of the Lord will radiate over the entire earth from Jerusalem-in the same way a lighthouse will irradiate its immediate surroundings.
Please read Isaiah 2:3 & Micah 4:2, and read the context thereof.
No foreign Prince, prelate, state or potentate shall have any powers over this land. Bill of Rights 1689, an inalienable part of our written constitution. Do you remember David Cameron bleating on about a new Bill of Rights? That was to hide the original, which made EUSSR membership unlawful, the Traitor Heath, whose grave I will someday spit on, was bribed to take us in. £10,000 was his price apparently…breaching the Bill of Rights means no monarchy, no Monarchy .means no HM government….Prince Chaz knows this, which is why he told Queer Starmer off about his pro EUSSR machinations….Constitutionalists arise….
Just remember those in Westminster are NOT government. That thing is a corporation ONLY. it is founded on fraud. Like many other countries. This situation is being rectified. You can see what’s submitted to world court link below.

International Public Notice: A Letter to Inform Dr. Henderson and the Universal Court
By Anna Von Reitz
“Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving and His Courts with praise.” Psalm 100:4.
Let it be clear that we, personally and individually, have made peace with Dr. Henderson; let it also be clear that there are numerous misunderstandings that continue to cloud the issues.
In the teleconference aired last night by Dr. Henderson, August 7th 2025, the nature of those misunderstandings became very apparent.
1. The “US” is not America. It never has been. And 90% of what Dr. Henderson was describing as “the United States of America” and activities of “the United States of America” —isn’t American, either.
