European Union member states showed a general level of unwillingness to help the United Kingdom in the event of a crisis, according to a survey conducted in April 2020. When the share of those that unwilling to help the UK in a hypothetical crisis is subtracted from those that are, just four countries had a net score above zero (Denmark, Poland, Sweden and Romania). The average across all fourteen countries surveyed was minus eight, with Greek respondents being the least inclined to help the UK at negative 35.
