A devastating fire at electronics manufacturer CSI Sud Ouest halted local operations with troubling implications for Europe’s aeronautic, space, and other critical downstream industries. The supply disruption further exposes the alarming vulnerabilities in the European electronics industrial base and underscores the need for public and private sector investment to strengthen the region’s electronics manufacturing capabilities and capacities. This incident raises concerns about the resilience of Europe’s critical industries, just as the European Commission unveils its Competitiveness Compass. While the Compass charts a course toward sustainable prosperity and growth, it’s clear that stronger collaboration and a unified strategy are key to securing Europe’s competitive edge.

But is that still a valid justification?

The reality is quite different. Over the years, the number of people who actively support Brexit has dwindled significantly.

Nearly a decade after the referendum, support for staying out of the EU has stagnated, while the desire to rejoin has grown steadily.

In fact, polling data from multiple credible sources shows that those wanting to rejoin the EU now form a clear and sustained majority – a majority far greater than the slim margin by which Leave prevailed in 2016.

This raises an important question: why haven’t successive Conservative governments – or the current Labour government – given us, the people, a new democratic opportunity to revisit Brexit?

Isn’t democracy meant to allow for the evolution of public opinion and offer voters the chance to change their minds?

Brexiters argue that we must wait 40 years before holding another referendum, yet history suggests otherwise.

After the decisive Remain result in the 1975 referendum, the UK revisited its membership in the European Community just eight years later. By that measure, we are already overdue for a fresh vote on Brexit.

So, what’s holding back our post-referendum governments?

Why has there been such resistance to offering a new democratic choice on a matter that so profoundly shapes the future of the UK?
