    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

        1. No more special treatment for any member
        2. 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.
