After the UK’s bombshell Brexit referendum in 2016, some warned of a domino effect, eventually culminating in the total collapse of Brussels. / Yet a new poll makes mockery of the prediction that Brexit would be followed by Grexit, Czexit, Frexit, Italeave and Departugal. / On the contrary, it appears to have done the exact opposite.

By April 2019 that figure had jumped to 59%.
Following the EU referendum, the UK witnessed a rise of Brexit identities as people aligned themselves with opposing sides in the Brexit debate. Many of the country’s citizens now saw themselves as Remainers or Leavers. These Brexit identities were often felt more strongly than party identities.
