Agree

No

Labour opposes rejoining for now and says it will not seek to re-enter the Single Market or Customs Union, but it is not ideologically anti-EU and wants closer cooperation than current arrangements.

Slightly disagree

Yes, Brexit damaged our economy and we need a seat at the table

Many in Labour argue Brexit has harmed growth and trade, but the party leadership still rejects applying to rejoin and focuses on pragmatic fixes (e.g., veterinary/SPS, security, research links) rather than membership.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only if we keep the Pound and stay out of the Schengen zone

Historically Labour governments kept the pound and the UK had opt-outs (e.g., Maastricht opt-out from the euro; UK not in Schengen), but current Labour policy is still not to apply to rejoin at all in the near term.

Disagree

Yes

Under Keir Starmer, Labour has ruled out rejoining the EU in the next parliament, prioritising improving the existing UK–EU relationship (e.g., 2024 manifesto stance), so it would not back an immediate application.

Disagree

No, we must respect the referendum and build a sovereign Global Britain

Labour does emphasise accepting the 2016 referendum result and not reopening the question soon, but it rejects the 'sovereign Global Britain' framing and seeks closer EU ties than that implies.

Very strongly disagree

No, the EU is a failing political project and we are better off independent

Labour is broadly pro-European and does not view the EU as a 'failing project'; it supported Remain in 2016 and now argues for rebuilding cooperation with the EU rather than celebrating independence from it.
