Korzyść czy strata? Konsekwencje brexitu w opinii polskich migrantów

• Języki publikacji: EN

Abstrakty

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie opinii polskich migrantów w Wielkiej Brytanii na temat korzyści lub strat, jakie brexit może przynieść dla Unii Europejskiej, Zjednoczonego Królestwa, Polski oraz samych respondentów i ich rodzin. Ustalono ją na podstawie analizy wyników sondażu przeprowadzonego wśród nich, a zaprezentowano na tle wyników badań opinii publicznej na temat członkostwa w Unii, które na Wyspach Brytyjskich prowadzone są regularnie od lat siedemdziesiątych ubiegłego wieku. W artykule analizowane są przekonania na ten temat migrantów zarobkowych, którzy w czasie dokonującego się brexitu stoją przed wyborem: pozostać na emigracji czy wracać do kraju pochodzenia. W odpowiedziach na pytania dotyczące ewentualnych korzyści bądź skutków negatywnych brexitu przeważały te drugie. W dyskusji poszukuje się odpowiedzi na pytanie, dlaczego migranci z Polski częściej obawiają się negatywnych konsekwencji brexitu dla Wielkiej Brytanii i Europy, a rzadziej dla Polski, dla nich samych i ich najbliższej rodziny. (abstrakt oryginalny)

EN

The aim of the article is to present the opinions of Polish migrants in Britain on the gains or losses that Brexit may bring to the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom (UK), and Poland, as well as the respondents themselves and their families. These opinions were determined based on the analysis of the results of a survey carried out among these migrants and presented against the backdrop of the results of public opinion polls on EU membership, which have been conducted in the British Isles regularly since the 1970s. The article analyses the beliefs held on this issue by economic migrants, who are faced with a choice as Brexit is underway: to remain expatriates or to return to their country of origin. Among the answers to questions about the possible benefits or negative outcomes of Brexit, it was the latter that predominated. In the discussion, the authors seek to ascertain why migrants from Poland fear the negative consequences of Brexit for the UK and for Europe more often than they fear those for Poland or for themselves and their close family members.
