Britons who want to rejoin EU at highest levels since 2016, survey finds - Lemmy.world

I think thats a great idea. Please submit you application for joining. And don't call us, we (the EU) will call you when we are done with

Albania
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Moldova
Montenegro
North Macedonia
Serbia
Türkiye
Ukraine

And the potential candidates
Georgia
Kosovo

And what is your stance on King Charles on your Euro coins. But we can always talk about someone else on the Euro currency.

The majority of Britons who want back in understand fully that we won’t receive the special treatment we did before we left.

This was one of the arguments I posed to people I know that wanted to leave. That we'd never get a deal as good as we had.

No-one on that side would listen at the time.

Do they really? Would they really accept a situation worse than what they previously had in the EU? Wouldn't that lead to an incredible resentment towards the EU?
I still thinks it's a great idea. I love visiting friends and family there. But please wait your turn before being considered a potential candidate

I also don't believe that we'd receive none of it either.

The EU will certainly have to exact a price for the whole debacle, but it'd also be beneficial to the EU to add a large, relatively-affluent trading partner back into the bloc. The EU strike me as more pragmatic than petty, and having someone leave and then come back again would really validate the whole community.

I expect in reality we'll rejoin the EEA and find ways to wrangle most of the benefits (for both sides) without having to fully rejoin and deal with that embarrassment.

Well that is the problem, the damage is done the institutions and businesses relocated or are relocating and everybody spend billions severing ties.
At this point the UK isn‘t a large and affluent trading partner any more. So why would you give a nobody anything special?
Also the EU is power centric and the UK embarrassed themselves worldwide. Why would you want somebody like that on your team?

You can just let them bleed out and talk about them rejoining the team when their pride is broken and they are lit. begging you to rejoin.

Absolutely zero chance the UK would have to wait for Turkey to join before being allowed to join.

I am myself am a EU citizen and I still don't understand that anger of EU people against the British people over Brexit. The Brits fucked themselves over, they didn't do anything to the EU. Actually, about half of them are suffering from the decision of the other half, so I can only empathize with the shit show they have to endure.

The EU seems more cohesive because of Brexit - all the fears about our large countries leaving seem to have evaporated and the utter abject failure of Britain has really taken the wind out of the anti-EU movement. Not to say there aren't still major problems and challenges for the EU to rise to, but fragmentation seems like less of a risk now.
No shit. Half of us didn’t vote for it, and we’ve spent the last 7 years suffering it.
When you say half, you refer about those who actually went to the polls.
Because most eligible voters decided that PoLiTiCs iS fOR wAnKeRs and went to the pub instead, then woke up the following day in a new world that they directly helped create, as the Brexit idiots were motivated (out of ignorance and ease of manipulation), so not voting was effectively counted against Bremain.
Unfortunately this won’t happen anytime soon. Brussels will want them to give up Sterling and they simply will not.
