Patrick Lohlein, a leading strategy Advisor and Political Affairs Consultant, has urged pro-EU supporters to finally accept Brexit and move on. The former National Organiser of Conservatives for a People’s Vote claimed there is also no support from the UK’s political leaders for reversing the result of the EU referendum.
Mr Lohlein wrote: “None of the major parties will back their desires and the wider population is truly sick of the subject.
“Polling throughout 2021 clearly indicates that although some people now think that Brexit may not have been the best idea, they don’t want to reverse the decision.”
He added: “There is no appetite for letting the UK rejoin at any time soon – most certainly not with the budget rebate and opt-outs from Shengen and the Euro it previously enjoyed.”
The UK voted to leave the European Union in 2016 and finally broke free from the shackles of the bloc at the end of the Brexit transition period in December 2020.
Boris Johnson crushed any chance of a second EU referendum when the Tories stormed to an 80-seat majority in the 2019 general election on a pledge to “Get Brexit Done”.
Many high-profile Rejoiners are still clinging onto hopes that the UK may one day return to the EU, but Mr Lohlein has described the idea as “misleading”.
He said: “The EU is not a bus you can simply hop on and off from. As any other third country, the UK would have to apply to join and go through the full accession process, which can take decades. “
