A new ITV poll exclusive to Hacker News reveals a stark generational divide on Brexit. Over 80% of 16 to 24-year-olds would vote to rejoin the EU in a future referendum, contrasting sharply with the 2016 vote where only 17% of this age group supported remaining outside the bloc. Crucially, none of this demographic was eligible to participate in the original 2016 referendum.

Conducted by Savanta for the Peston programme, the poll highlights a significant shift in sentiment among younger Britons. Sir Keir Starmer acknowledges the need for a reset in the UK's relationship with Europe, while the Liberal Democrats advocate for a new customs union. Nigel Farage has also criticised the Brexit outcome as falling short of expectations, arguing the UK hasn't fully capitalized on leaving the EU. Prime Minister Starmer recently stated he will seek 'deeper economic integration' and 'closer alignment' with the single market in more sectors, framing it as essential for security and growth, though acknowledging political trade-offs. This poll underscores the profound challenge for both major parties as they navigate the legacy of Brexit.
