Is support for Brexit falling in 2025? Recent surveys on Brexit suggest that an increasing number of Britons regret Brexit. The share of people of who think that Brexit was the wrong decision has increased from 43 percent in April 2021 to 55 percent as of January 2025, while support for leaving the EU fell from 46 percent to 30 percent. At the same time, evidence suggests that other issues have become much more of a priority for voters. In early 2025, the UK leaving the EU was behind several other major issues in the UK, such as the economy, the NHS, and immigration. Furthermore, people in the UK are still divided over what exact relationship they would like with the EU, with only 31 percent committed to full membership as of late 2023. Younger voters backed Remain According to exit polls on the day of the referendum, almost three quarters of British people aged between 18 and 24 voted to remain in the European Union. By contrast, leave was backed by a majority of people who were over the age of 45, with those aged over 65 the most likely age group to vote to leave. Among those aged 18 to 24 in 2025, who were too young to vote in the actual referendum, just ten percent thought leaving the EU was the right decision, compared with 17 percent of 25 to 49-year-olds, 38 percent of 50 to 64-year-olds, and 55 percent of those aged 65 or over.

There were approximately 14.69 million millennials in the United Kingdom in 2023. This generation, sometimes called Generation Y were born between 1981 and 1996 and are mainly the children of the post-war Baby Boomer generation. As of 2023, Millennials were the largest generational cohort in the UK, followed by Generation X at 14.04 million people, Baby Boomers at 13.57 million, and then by Generation Z at 13.2 million. The most numerous single-year of age for Millennials, and the UK as a whole, was 35 at 956,116. Boomerang generation The first cohort of millennials came of age at the turn of the century and have almost certainly been heavily influenced by the growth of internet accessibility during this time. The economic challenges faced by this generation may have a relation to the increasing share of young adults who live with their parents in the UK. This has led to the perhaps unfair, characterization of millennials as the boomerang generation, who failed to grow-up and mature. Some of these negative stereotypes regarding Millennials have since shifted to the next youngest generation, Generation Z, who have started to enter the workplace since the mid-2010s. Generation Remain One of the main challenges that British millennials currently face are their prospects after Brexit. Although the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, there were clear divisions between regions, classes and age-groups. Most millennials voted to remain in the Brexit referendum with 73 percent of people aged 18 to 24, and 62 percent of those aged 25 to 34 voting to remain. In the next UK election, the majority of 25 to 49-year-olds intend to vote for the Labour Party, with only a slight majority of those over 65 planning to vote for the Conservative Party. Millennials also still appear to oppose Brexit, with approximately 65 percent of 25 to 49-year-olds believing Brexit to have been the wrong decision.
