Smug Guy Verhofstadt goads Britain saying voters 'fooled' by Brexit: 'Time to rejoin EU!'
The anti-Brexit MEP called on Britons to vote to rejoin the European Union after a poll identified the pro-EU movement in the UK is growing.
Guy Verhofstadt has goaded Brexit voters after a poll found that a growing majority of people would like to rejoin the EU.
The former prime minister of Belgium and prominent MEP for the nation declared it is "time to rejoin" in a social media post.
A poll conducted by YouGov recently became the latest to identify a growing trend in favour of rejoining the bloc.
At the same time, the poll found people are becoming increasingly disaffected with the Government's facilitation of Brexit.
Mr Verhofstadt warned that people had been "fooled" by the 2016 vote and called on Britons to correct the "mistake" democratically.

Posting on Twitter in response to the recent polling results, he said people have a chance to "put things right".
He wrote: "You can fool some people sometimes…but in a democracy, they get a chance to put things right. Time to #rejoin!"
The noted Brexit opponent commented on the results after they were posted on July 18.
YouGov quizzed hundreds of people about the Brexit vote, most of whom agreed they would vote to rejoin if a new von was held in July.
A total of 55 percent said they would vote to reenter the bloc, an increase of six percent since January 2022, with just 31 precent in favour of remaining outside.
More people felt the decision to leave was incorrect, with 57 percent saying so, and just 32 percent convinced the country did the right thing.
While the results were praised by the MEP, commenters below his post were irked by his continued support of the rejoin movement.
One commenter told him to "dream on", while another said the vote was a "long-term strategic decision to safeguard UK national interests".
Another added: "Why do you even care? You hated us anyway! It's our money that you're missing, not us!"
One supporter suggested 55 percent was not enough, adding that it appears Britons "have not learned enough from the Brexit experience".
