63% of Britons believe at this point that Brexit "has created more problems than it has solved", compared to the scarce 21% who think otherwise, according to a new poll. 53% believe that London should seek "a closer relationship" with Brussels, while 23% are in favor of maintaining the current situation.

The change in attitude is noticeable even in the most anti-European enclaves, such as Boston and Skegness, the birthplace of the extinct UKIP. The poll of more than 10,000 voters highlights the overwhelming support for a closer relationship with the EU in cities such as Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh and Brighton.
