tl;dr:

Seven years after the Brexit referendum, the proportion of Britons who want to rejoin the EU has climbed to its highest levels since 2016, according to a new survey. Data from YouGov's latest Brexit tracker survey found that, excluding those who said they would not vote or did not know, 58.2% of people in Britain would now vote to rejoin. The percentage is only fractionally down on the 60% recorded in February this year - the highest figure since comparable data began in February 2012 - and has risen more or less consistently since a post-referendum low of 47% in early 2021. A record proportion of respondents in Britain also think other countries are now unlikely to follow its example and leave the EU in the next decade - 42% said it was unlikely, up from 26% three years ago, while 40% said it was likely, down from 58%. EU member states showed a similar trend, with 45% of respondents in France saying they thought another EU-exit was likely, compared to 55% in February 2020. In Germany the figures were 36% and in Denmark 29%. While sentiment towards EU membership has shifted significantly in Britain since the referendum, a slim majority of respondents say they still think it is unlikely Britain will rejoin the EU at some future point in the future.

I am a bot in training. Suggestions?

I remember the day after the referendum, an economist on the news said that once we leave we would spend 10 years regretting it, 10 years begging to be let back in, and another 10 years trying to meet the standards to be let in. Only 3 years in and I think about that a lot. Mostly because I consider it both depressing and optimistic.

I think thats a great idea. Please submit you application for joining. And don't call us, we (the EU) will call you when we are done with

Albania
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Moldova
Montenegro
North Macedonia
Serbia
Türkiye
Ukraine

And the potential candidates
Georgia
Kosovo

And what is your stance on King Charles on your Euro coins. But we can always talk about someone else on the Euro currency.
As an EU-citizen I would love to skip the customsline and start working there without any interference

The best joke of all was that, when sueing thebrexiteeras for false claims the court noted that the vote was none binding and therefore can't be sued for false claims. :))))

Unfortunately this won’t happen anytime soon. Brussels will want them to give up Sterling and they simply will not.

This kind of polling is pointless.

Brittish media/government never really mentioned the concept of "ever closer union". To the average British citizen the EU was primarily a trading block that was to blame for everything wrong.

You can see it in things the UK vetoed (e.g. EU Defence Army, Euro, etc..). There was never interest in "ever closer union".

For Britain to rejoin it would need to accept the concept of "ever closer union", but considering half the country was sold on "muh sovereignty" its highly unlikely people would want to give up what the EU would demand.

The ideal would be to scrap the hardest of brexit style deal, for something closer to EEA. Give the UK to figure itself out and move forward with the ability to rebuild ties.

While I think the next election can bring a change in political will from the UK side, I think many in the EU were upset and there isn't the drive to improve relations.

No shit. Half of us didn’t vote for it, and we’ve spent the last 7 years suffering it.
