With reports of Leave voters voicing their regret as the reality of Brexit hit home on Friday morning, many are questioning whether the result would be different if Britons were to go to the polls again. Uncertainty and panic set in across the country as the pound and shares plummeted after the shock result. Despite rallying in the last 24 hours Chancellor George Osborne has said the UK will be “poorer” as the economy deals with the fallout of Brexit.

Signs of division between regions and generations have also emerged across the UK, with London and Scotland making calls for independence, while family members and friends fall out over how they voted. The current leadership vacuum in the Government after David Cameron’s resignation and the Labour party’s ongoing turmoil as MPs fight to oust Jeremy Corbyn is also spreading unease across the population. Vote Leave polled 1.3 million more votes than Remain in the EU referendum on June 23 - but would the margin change if voters went to the polling stations again today knowing what would be the immediate aftermath of Brexit?

More than one million Brexiteers now regret their vote after seeing the political and economic fallout, according to a poll carried out by Survation. The poll found seven per cent of Leave voters surveyed said they wished they had backed Remain - equal to around 1.13m people. But the poll also found thousands of people also regretted their vote to remain in the EU. The UK has been spilt 48.1 per cent for staying in the EU and 51.9 per cent for leaving - with Scotland, London, some cities and the younger generation outvoted by rural areas and older generations.

GETTY Disappointed Remain campaigners on Friday morning

Our poll of nearly 22,000 readers launched after Mr Cameron’s renegotiations with the EU in February found 90 per cent backed leaving the EU, while eight per cent wanted to remain and two per cent were undecided. As our future relationship with the EU remains unclear, voters have taken to social media to express their regret over their decision using the hashtag #Bregret. Some Britons have said they felt “robbed” of their vote after the Leave camp began going back on promises made during the campaign. Others who said they used Brexit as a protest vote or thought their vote “wouldn’t matter” are now having second thoughts.

One voter said she was “very disappointed” by the result of the referendum in an extraordinary interview - despite voting to leave the EU. The student, known only as Mandy, said the “reality” of the consequences had now hit her and that if she was given the chance again she would instead opt to remain in the EU. But many Leave supporters have said they stand by their vote and were “happy” and “surprised” by the result. The small minority of young people who voted Leave have reported receiving abuse from their peers on social media since last week’s vote.
