Support for the European Union has “rebounded dramatically” in most major member countries after Brexit, although the majority of citizens believe they should also have a referendum, new research has found.
The study by US think tank, the Pew Research Center found that people had a positive view of the EU in nine out of the 10 countries.
Even
in the UK, 54 per cent of people approved of the 27 nation bloc, although 40 per cent disapproved.
The only country with a negative view of the EU was Greece which is still struggling to meet the terms of the deal made with the “troika” – the European Central Bank, the Eurogroup and the International Monetary Fund – for bailout loans in 2010, 2012 and 2015.
