A chart showing some statistics regarding British opinion towards the EU. For example, 36% of Brits apparently "strongly support" rejoining the EU, 20% somewhat support rejoining the EU, 10% don't know if they support rejoining the EU, 10% somewhat oppose rejoining the EU, and 24% strongly oppose rejoining the EU.
