European Union

The annual Ipsos Captains of Industry study finds that at the time of interviewing, 58% of Captains felt that since the referendum the decision to leave the EU has had a negative impact on their business.

Ipsos surveyed nearly 40,000 18-34 year olds across the G20 nations on behalf of the British Council, to measure perceptions of the UK pre and post-Brexit.

In the wake of the UK voting to leave the EU, our new poll suggests that most Scots think that Brexit will have a negative impact in the UK and across Europe.

More than eight out of 10 people in Northern Ireland say the UK's decision to leave the European Union has not changed the way they would vote in a future border poll. Ipsos carried out a survey for BBC Northern Ireland’s The View programme on public attitudes towards a border poll and how the public might vote i.e. whether they would vote for Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom or for Northern Ireland to be joined with the Republic of Ireland outside of the UK. 

With everyone from Mark Carney to President Obama giving warnings about the possible impact of Brexit on the economy, expectations that Remain would win were common right to the end – including among the public themselves, according to our research. But throughout the campaign the signs that Project Fear wasn’t working were there.

Is Brexit just the tip of the iceberg, a foretelling of the potential for significant social and political upheaval in the short and medium-term? Our latest Public Perspectives report examines this possibility, with recent Ipsos data showing a majority of citizens in almost all countries believing that their current government/leadership should be replaced.

“Euro-Myth or Euro-Reality?”, “Will we or will we Stay Go?” The facts are often confusing and contested… and facts about the future don’t exist…

The European affluent are generally more positive towards their country’s membership of the European Union than the non-affluent.

Immigration one of the key issues which will affect how people vote in the UK’s upcoming referendum on EU membership, along with the effect on the economy and Britain’s sovereignty.
