The Problem With Brexit Is That It Isn't Ageing Very Well

Remain voters, it is argued, have accommodated themselves to what has happened.

Yet this is not what the polls tell us. Rather, they indicate that the decision to leave the EU is as unpopular now as it has been at any point since 2016 and that the Brexit ballot may prove no more successful in resolving the issue of Britain’s relationship with the EU than its predecessor was in 1975.
