The majority of Britons are in favor of returning the country to the EU, media write

LONDON, October 10 - RIA Novosti. The majority of voters in the UK's main parties, with the exception of the right-wing opposition party Reform UK, favor the country's return to the European Union, the Independent newspaper reports, citing research conducted by the movement to return Britain to the EU.

At the end of September, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said that the country's exit from the European Union had done more harm than good, and that the country might consider returning to the bloc entirely.

"The majority of voters in all but one of the major parties favor including a commitment to EU membership in their party's election platforms. The only party whose voters opposed it was Reform UK," the newspaper writes.

According to the survey, the vast majority of voters in the ruling Labor Party (72%), Green Party (71%) and Liberal Democrats (75%) support the UK's return to the European Union. Among Conservative Party supporters, 43% also supported the country's reintegration into the EU.

Only voters of the right-wing opposition party Reform UK oppose this move, as 58% of respondents said, according to the survey results.

In total, among all voters surveyed, 57% were in favor of the UK returning to the European Union in the event of a new referendum, while 30% were against, the publication notes.

In a referendum in June 2016, 52% of Britons were in favor of leaving the European Union; on January 31, 2020, the country left the EU after 47 years of membership.
