UK Press Release: Reform’s election success masks a shift in public mood

Support for international cooperation is rising, not falling.

New global polling by Ipsos for the think tank Global Nation of 22,000 people in 31 countries, shows public commitment to cooperation across borders is growing, including in the UK. Chasing the nativist right means falling behind the curve as the public mood shifts. Polling: 22,000+ respondents, 31 countries, Ipsos data

Hassan Damluji, Director of Global Nation, said: “As conflict erupts around the world, people are increasingly realising that this breakdown in the international system is making their lives worse. Brexit has made Britons poorer, and war in the Middle East is adding more pressure to the cost of living. In response, British people – like people in other countries – have become decisively more internationalist in the last year.
