The failure of Brexit is increasingly acknowledged and discussed, although addressing this failure will be complex and challenging as Brexiters are unlikely to give up easily. Previously, the damage caused by Brexit was often reported piecemeal, with Brexit being mentioned as a factor in various issues. However, there is a shift in the media, with more comprehensive assessments of Brexit's negative impact. Public opinion has also been shifting, with many people believing that Brexit was a mistake and has failed.
While remaining voters mostly view Brexit as a failure, leave voters divided, with some believing it could have been a success if implemented differently. This division leaves room for the narrative of Brexit betrayal to gain traction among leave voters. The danger of such narratives is that they can lead to a sense of victimhood and potentially dark consequences. However, it is essential to note that some Brexit supporters have accepted that Brexit has not succeeded. In contrast, others still cling to individual pieces of economic good news as evidence of triumph.
Regarding Labour's position on Brexit, there is a perception among Brexiters that the party has a secret plan to rejoin the EU. At the same time, some remainers believe there is no difference between Labour and the Tories regarding Brexit. The reality is more nuanced, with Labour's position pointing towards eventually rejoining the EU based on the damage caused by Brexit. Keir Starmer's recent article in the Express aimed to appeal to leave voters who blame the Tories for the failures of Brexit. This tactical move may result in losing some support but could also gain votes in other constituencies.
Beneath Labour's tactics, there is a more nuanced and potentially radical Brexit position. Starmer's proposals suggest a return to a closer relationship with the EU and reflect the direction of public opinion, which favors closer ties. Labour's approach may involve pushing for closer ties with the EU within the boundaries of its manifesto commitments and electoral viability. For example, differences in regulatory standards may become an issue in the future as Labour seeks a New Zealand-style deal that the EU has already rejected. Labour's position on Brexit suggests a gradual journey back towards Europe.
