Distrust Very High Amongst Those Voting to Leave EU Reveals Negative Impact on British Buying Intentions for Cars, Homes, Holiday Trips GRBN Research Report Available via Dapresy’s Online Dashboard LONDON – Oct. 6, 2016 — The Global Research Business Network (GRBN) and Opinium Research today announced in conjunction with Dapresy, a global provider of data visualization and data integration software, the results of the 2016 “Brexit and Trust” research report online at https://dapresy.com/brexit-news/. The research is based upon a recent survey of UK adults conducted by Opinium, a UK-based insight agency, in partnership with GRBN, and addresses the impact the Brexit vote has had on a variety of issues relating to trust. Key Finding: Steep declines in trust of government and other institutions Since the vote, participants reported deep declines in trust overall amongst a variety of institutions, including of the British government, with the net trust index* in the British government decreasing from -11 to -21. The proportion of people having a very low level** of trust in the British government increased from 25% to 31%. Those who voted to leave the EU have a much higher distrust in the British government (a net trust index of -25 compared to -15 amongst those voting to remain). Meanwhile, those who did not feel well informed about the issues during the referendum have a very low level of trust in the British government (-29 net trust index). Key Finding: Departure from EU to impact sales of cars, UK homes, vacations in Europe Some 10% of participants said the vote had decreased the likelihood of them making home purchases in the next 12 months, with the largest declines amongst those voting to remain (15%). Amongst 18-34 year olds voting to remain in the EU, 19% stated they are now less likely to buy a house in the UK. Other major purchases impacted included large ticket items such as cars (12% less likely to buy) and vacations in Europe (12% less likely to take one). Key Finding: More participants voting “leave” said they made well informed decision vs. “remain” Despite the amount of coverage of the referendum, as many as 39% of participants in this survey stated that only to a limited extent did they feel well informed/knowledgeable about both sides of the argument. While media reports stated that “leave” votes were emotionally based while “remain” voters were better informed, this survey found when asked, the opposite is true. Some 69% of participants voting “leave” reported they had been well informed, while only 59% of those voting “remain” reported the same. According to Andrew Cannon, GRBN executive director, “This survey shows that trust in many types of institutions, including government, the police and secret services, has decreased dramatically in the UK post-Brexit. This sharp decline in trust needs to be taken very seriously by those in power within these institutions.” James Endersby, managing director of Opinium, said, “We’re clearly in a limbo period of uncertainty where businesses and consumers take longer to make ‘big’ spending decisions, or postpone them completely.” “With much of the discussion before and after the referendum focusing on the lack of reliable information given to the public, we are excited that GBRN chose to partner with Dapresy in order to make the results of this important study openly available to everyone,” said Marc Chester, director, Dapresy UK.
