The survey, commissioned by campaign group Britain Unbound and carried out by YouGov, found that almost 60 per cent of respondents would be unwilling to accept reduced British control over laws and regulations as part of any future agreement to deepen economic integration with the EU.

Around 27 per cent said they would support trading some sovereignty for greater access to the single market, while approximately 14 per cent remained undecided.

The findings arrive as debate continues around the UK’s future relationship with Europe nearly a decade after the Brexit referendum.

The current Labour government has signalled interest in building closer economic and political cooperation with Brussels, while several prominent Labour figures have openly discussed the possibility of eventually seeking a mandate to rejoin the European Union.

Supporters of Brexit argue the latest polling suggests there remains strong public resistance to reversing key elements of Britain’s departure from the EU, particularly where it could involve accepting external legal or regulatory oversight.

Participants in the survey were asked whether they would be willing to give the EU greater influence over laws applying in the UK in exchange for improved single market access.

According to the results, opposition to the idea was recorded across multiple demographic groups, including differences in region, gender and education level.

Among those surveyed, around 61 per cent of men and 57 per cent of women said they would oppose giving up legislative powers tied to Brexit. In London, roughly half of respondents were against the proposal, while opposition was higher in regions including the Midlands and southern England.

Views also varied according to education levels. People with university degrees were generally more open to closer integration with the EU, while respondents with A-level and GCSE qualifications were significantly more likely to oppose the idea.

Britain Unbound, which campaigns in favour of maintaining UK independence from EU structures, said the results reflected continued public support for Brexit-era sovereignty and national control over law-making.

Several political figures associated with the group criticised recent discussions around closer EU alignment, arguing that further integration could weaken parliamentary independence and reduce Britain’s ability to set its own economic and regulatory policies.

The polling adds to an ongoing national debate over whether the UK should maintain its current post-Brexit direction or pursue a closer future relationship with the European Union in the years ahead.
