Michel Barnier has said Britain could regain its special terms if it rejoined the EU and claimed it was becoming clearer every day to the British people that they would be stronger in Europe.
Why would the EU offer that same stupid special treatment?
If it made economic and security sense, a rational actor, which I believe the EU to be, would do it.
Because getting the UK to rejoin sends a very clear sign of “don’t think about leaving, you’ll just come crawling back poorer” to all the other countries’ eurosceptic movements.
That would be the signal if the UK came back getting the same deal as everyone else. Taking the UK back fulfilling these wishes would just send a signal that some countries are just better than others.
