    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.

      37% don’t care about other people being cold and hungry.

        Unfortunately accurate. We’re in a complete mess getting looted by billionaires - one of which is the bloody prime minister!

      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.

        well as the Pound collapsed after Brexit it shouldn’t make much difference.

          Well yeah, but that shouldn’t concern us. Eat the pride or die trying.

    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.
