Brexit remorse – Was leaving the EU a mistake? | DW Documentary
On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted in a referendum to leave the EU. In 2020, the exit took place. Years later, none of the Brexit promises have been kept.
In the face of a deep economic and social crisis, many Britons now believe that leaving the European Union was a mistake. There is a great deal of anger in society, cutting across all generations. The anger is felt both among those who voted for Brexit, and those who voted to remain in the European Union.
Since the referendum, five prime ministers have resigned in succession — four of them with a bang –because they were unable to fulfill their populist promises. How did this political chaos come about?
Many Britons are now talking about “Bregret” – regret about the exit. The film explores the future of this increasingly divided kingdom. What legacy will former Prime Minister Boris Johnson leave behind? What direction will the country take, in this complex transition period?
From initial hope to current regret, this investigation provides a detailed overview of the post-Brexit era in the UK.
