Changing attitudes to Brexit, three years on
Recent polls show a rise in people saying Brexit was wrong. But who is changing their mind – and who is not?
www.theguardian.com
Two things are causing the shift: Leavers changing their mind and the older, more pro-leave crowd dying off:
“There are good reasons to believe that demographic drift” is happening, says Curtice, but the change is being caused “primarily by leave voters changing their mind”.
On the other hand, he says that “movement has occurred disproportionately among people in the younger part of the age spectrum” and this could mean that “the demographic cliff is even sharper” as new cohorts enter the electorate.
