Euronews - Growing majority of Britons think Brexit was a mistake, new poll shows

According to a new poll, only 43% of the British population consider that the UK's departure from the European Union was a good decision, while 57% believe it was a mistake.

The numbers, revealed on Wednesday by John Curtice, president of the British Polling Council, represent a significant shift from the 2016 results, when almost 52% of the British electorate voted to leave the EU, sending shockwaves across the globe.

"Brexit is probably today at its lowest level of popularity since June 2016," Curtice said during a meeting with journalists on Wednesday.

EU Declares No Longer Dependent on Russian Energy | European Pravda

I like it. Mostly the idea of one country loading it over others. Better to have independence.

If there is a better example of renewable energy being a boon to national security, I’d like to see it.
