    I can’t imagine the EU is going to accept a return without some concessions.

    I’d be curious to see what those numbers look like if you throw in abolishing the pound and integration of the UK into Schengen.

      I mean that’s barely even concessions, that’s pretty much just standard EU membership. Which I agree, the UK will have to take.

        What kind of concessions would the EU be likely to levy? It feels weird to put a member state at an economic disadvantage simply because their politicians are dumb shits.

    They have had TWO votes to see if they should leave the EU and in the second vote, even more people voted for Brexit than the first time around.

    If I were in the EU, I’d tell them to fuck off.

      Together we’re all stronger, so as a EU citizen I’d welcome them back. However, say goodbye to the GBP, it’s Euro for all of you, and no more special rules, it’ll be a regular old member state.

        But would they ever agree to getting rid of the Pound and just “just” another member state??? I think not. They think they’re too good for that.

    If they were to apply to rejoin, as well as joining the Schengen and the euro, I’d want them to have a minimum 60% in favour in a referendum (not just in the polls). Something like a membership of the EU, a political project, requires strong public support.
