#2If you added the word "Only" to the title, it would completely change the subtext.

#3Yeah. great. It's too late though, isn't it? The damage is done.

#5yougov also repeatedly reports that x% of the UK population want COVID-19 restrictions to continue indefinitely, along with the closure of nightclubs. You'll forgive me if I don't treat yougov as the main source of UK sentiment

#6Which means that 80% support this decision 6 years later.

Agreed. Is this figure supposed to be high? Seems like there's a good chance that 1 in 5 Biden voters now think it was the wrong decision and 1 in 5 Trump thought similarly after his years in office.

#8Is that a lot? What's the usual rate of regret six years after a vote?

The original title sticks to the actual claim, and doesn't add subtext. You can interpret "one in five" in either direction. You can say 80% of Brexit voters are still fine with their vote, or you can say the 20% who have changed their minds would be enough to reverse the decision could the vote be held again now.
So yeah, adding words does add subtext, but your phrasing of this seems to imply that there is existing subtext. What do you see, specifically?

Way more than 1 in 5 Biden voters, given the last two years...
