Fair warning: anyone believing that the UK is approaching more EU alignment has grossly underestimated the depths of mutual animosity and distrust that’s currently splitting the Tories from within
Recent polls show that around 57% of the population realize that Brexit was a mistake. The fact that that large majority is unrepresented by either of the two major parties demonstrates the complete failure of the two-party "first part the post" electoral system. The best hope for the country is for the next election to result in a "hung parliament" with the minor parties (SNP and Lib Dems) holding the balance of power. Hopefully the country can then adopt a more democratic electoral system (proportional representation) and a closer alignment with the EU. It is utter madness for the entire country to be held to ransom by the "red wall voters" or "swing voters" who are a tiny minority of the overall electorate.
Seems like an accurate summary of the story so far although I find it even more funny to drill into data like British Cheese Exports. Spoiler: it's not going well.

Why did you post a chart of GBPUSD, not EURGBP?
