Recent polls suggest voters think Brexit was a bad move

It’s the third anniversary of Brexit – when the United Kingdom parted ways with the European Union.

Now, all these months later, polls increasingly show voters consider the move to be a mistake.

The original 52:48 result in favour of Brexit was heavily driven by older voters.

Research has found 64 per cent of voters over 65 opted to leave, while 71 per cent of 18- to 24-year olds voted to remain.

Since the referendum, polling organisation YouGov has regularly asked members of the British public: In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the EU?

In August 2016, 46 per cent of those surveyed thought it was the right decision but by January 2023, this number dropped to 34 per cent.

This means 54 per cent of the British public surveyed believe it was the wrong move.

And different pollsters ask different questions.

For instance, since 2020, BMG Research and Kantar have both asked whether the UK should join the EU, or stay out.

Over this period, polls have shifted considerably with more now saying the country should rejoin.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
