A new POLITICO poll finds that 70% of British voters want closer ties with the EU.
Even among supporters of Nigel Farage's Reform UK, which grew out of the Brexit Party and championed a hard break with the EU, 51% favor a closer relationship with Brussels. Just 25% want Britain to move further away.
But "closer" does not necessarily mean reversing Brexit.
Some 31% want deeper cooperation without following EU rules, while 39% support much closer ties even if that means accepting some EU rules again.
The poll comes as Labour faces growing pressure from senior figures to rethink Britain's relationship with Europe.
Ten years after the Brexit vote, one thing is clear: the debate over Britain's place in Europe is far from over.
