As long as it’s only half of them then the other half of them will want to leave at the next opportunity. The EU should allow them to join again when 75% of them want to join.
At this point the UK is basically Europe’s cat: unsure (and constantly changing opinion on) whether it wants to be inside or out.
It would be really funny if the UK rejoined and were a full member like the others. Because they’d no longer be special it’d mean the EU to be strengthened in the long term.
The funny part being that Putler spent hundreds of millions to propagandise the UK into leaving the union in order to weaken it but ends up strengthening it
How’d it strengthen?
- No more special treatment for any member
- A major country left, realised despite all pride that it’s definitively shittier, and came back. It would make eurosceptics’ separatist propaganda harder.
By making an example of the UK. The UK was the first country to leave the EU, and its economy got fucked big time in the process, making other countries think twice before considering the same manoeuvre. Case in point: the AfD, Germany’s far-right populist party, used to promote an exit from the Euro and EU; seeing what happened to the UK, even those dipshits no longer do.
Fantastic news - the UK had to learn the hard way who its real allies and adversaries are
Wait… Brexit was 10 years ago? 😭
Not Brexit, the Vote about Brexit
The process took almost 5 years to finish after the vote
The big mistake of the previous decade. Perhaps in the next decade we will be fortunate enough to have it reversed.
Well, I’d welcome having the UK back, because we’re a geographical and cultural community.
It’s great that the fascists in the US, with their narcissistic delusions of grandeur, are now making it so clear that this messed-up country will never be even a halfway reliable partner.
It’s just a shame that this detour into an imaginary history, in which the UK is still a world-dominating power all on its own, was of course nothing but the same mindless illusion that is now hastening the end of the US as a superpower. That could easily have been predicted.
But hey, at least it’s clear now that the Brexit was a very bad idea. Seriously, just think about the cost of this unnecessary escapade. So much good could have been done with those resources.
I’m afraid the UK hasn’t done itself any favors with this, especially since all the special terms that were available within the EU at the time will likely never be offered again in that form.
I’d love it of the EU asked Australia to join the EU. I’m all for it, what a wonderful grand experiment it is.
At this point I’d happily accept the Euro as a condition of rejoining
Oh it will be, no special deals this time
I’d wait until a two-third majority.
Then watch half of the rejoiners not bothering to vote because it seems a sure thing, while the nazis reliably march to the polls in closed formation
hopefully the eu is not so stupid to take them in again
Just make sure that they take them in on equal terms with no special treatment: conversion to the Euro, no special veto powers, full Schengen movement.
Veto powers currently are the default. Which is why Putin puppets like Orban and Fico can stall important decisions. Just like the Yankee puppet UK could stall things.
No, please do, but don’t give them back the veto.
Its very annoying trying to go back to idiot island to visit my family there.
I think it was clear that whenever they want to rejoin, there will be no special treatment
