[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”30507″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][vc_column_text]Much is made of the alleged\u00a0state of Bregret<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 the idea that even those who voted for Brexit now regret their decision. It is true that\u00a0a majority (54%) now think Britain was wrong to vote to leave<\/a>\u00a0the EU. According to a YouGov poll,\u00a062% of people<\/a>\u00a0think Brexit has been more of a failure than a success. We even know that\u00a018% of leave voters would now vote remain<\/a>\u00a0if they could have another go at the 2016 referendum.<\/p>\n

But conjuring up the past is a logical impossibility. A \u201crejoin\u201d option would not be the same as the \u201cremain\u201d option. The European Union would have understandable hesitations about readmitting the UK without greater commitments than in the past \u2013 and might, for example, expect the UK to join the euro.<\/p>\n

When studying attitudes towards rejoining the EU, it quickly becomes apparent that voters see this clearly. The feeling of having made one\u2019s bed and now having to lie in it\u00a0is quite widespread<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When polled about a potential referendum on rejoining the EU,\u00a0only 48% of the UK public solidly supported it<\/a>. When asked if they would rejoin were monetary union to be on the table, support for rejoin\u00a0dwindles to 34%<\/a>, showing just how conditional support for rejoining actually is.<\/p>\n

The rejoin option is\u00a0particularly polarising<\/a>. It drives leave and remain voters further apart than any other option.<\/p>\n

And no-one wants to re-hash Brexit divisions: the issue has fallen precipitously in terms of salience (from its heights of\u00a0nearly 70% in the negotiations period, to a mere 12% today<\/a>). The public doesn\u2019t want to touch the subject of Brexit with a barge pole \u2013 and it should come as no surprise that the current UK government doesn\u2019t want to either. The current public mood is more one of bresignation than bregret.<\/p>\n

Both leavers and remainers are in an impossible bind. They recognise that the process of leaving the EU was very far from the pipe dream sold by the Leave campaign but neither can do anything about it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”30485″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For leavers, the idea that Brexit was a mistake triggers discomfort. They are in what behavioural scientists call a state of\u00a0cognitive dissonance<\/a>. When we cannot change a past action, we often decide to change how we see and interpret new evidence about that action in order to avoid the cognitive inconsistency and the psychological discomfort of being wrong about it.<\/p>\n

This is natural and human, it happens to all of us. Together with my colleague Sara Hobolt, I have\u00a0shown<\/a>\u00a0how since the 2016 vote, both remainers and leavers have chosen to retain and believe different aspects of official information on the state of the UK economy to suit their own view on Brexit.<\/p>\n

For leavers, this means joining the 47%\u00a0who think that Brexit is not done<\/a>, or the nearly 30% who think it\u00a0could have been a success<\/a>\u00a0if the UK had better politicians and negotiators.<\/p>\n

These numbers are not negligible: any call for rejoining the EU is, at this point in time, unwise and likely to be seen as extremely radical.<\/p>\n

The big reset<\/h2>\n

To overcome this state of \u201cbresignation\u201d and truly trigger a reset in UK-EU relations, the UK government first needs to gather information on how the current arrangement – the Trade and Cooperation Agreement – is going, and to communicate this evidence in a unifying way.<\/p>\n

Some evidence<\/a>\u00a0shows that factual information about Brexit effects (e.g. economic repercussions, repercussion on young UK citizens of the end of freedom of movement), or lack thereof (for example, illegal immigration issue not being \u201csolved\u201d by Brexit), are getting across to the UK public.<\/p>\n

Commissioning more research on how minimal access to the EU market is affecting the UK economy \u2013 and disseminating this evidence in a way that does not point the finger at leave voters \u2013 is an essential step. They need to be protected from feeling primarily responsible to be shielded from the state of cognitive dissonance.<\/p>\n

Given that it was the responsibility of the Leave and Remain campaigns to clearly spell out the meaning of Brexit, freeing leave voters from blame is also simply the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

Public opinion is still very much in favour of retaining control over UK regulations and trade deals, making joining the customs union and single market particularly unpalatable. But there is\u00a0significant support<\/a>\u00a0for a closer relationship with the EU and for the removal of most \u2013 if not all \u2013 trade barriers on goods and services.<\/p>\n

There is, therefore, scope to sell regulatory alignment by focusing on its flexible, conditional nature and on the perks of easing trade with the world\u2019s largest trading block.<\/p>\n

People are also less fussed about conditional freedom of movement than the government thinks. They\u00a0favour flexible immigration quotas<\/a>\u00a0to dynamically deal with sectoral shortages, such as in the NHS, or for high-skilled talent.<\/p>\n

A reset is in the realms of possibility, therefore. But the UK government first needs to break us free from the state of bresignation.<\/p>\n
