Nearly half of Britons now support UK rejoining the EU, poll finds

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham earlier this week opened the door for the country to go "all the way" back into the EU.

In a large opinion poll published by The Guardian, 49 percent now want to see the UK rejoin the EU, while 28.5 percent do not want to see such a solution.

At the same time, a quarter want to see the UK rejoin immediately, while 22 percent would rather see it happen in the next three years.

The UK voted in a referendum on “Brexit” in 2016 and left the EU five years later.
