Readers’ poll: Was leaving the EU a mistake?

Almost seven years after the UK voted to leave the European Union, Brexit still looms over the political debate. On issues from trade and immigration to investment and regulation, the aftermath of our departure plays a central role.

Those who say it was wrong to leave argue that weak growth, poor investment, political chaos and spiralling immigration all have their roots in a decision that has inflicted needless damage on the nation. Others say that even if aspects of Brexit have been badly handled, that does not mean it was wrong to free the UK from an undemocratic European bureaucracy, and that there is no convincing evidence the country would be better off if we had remained.
