    Are you sure? I don’t mind. Together we have a stronger economy. If they want to be subject of all EU market policy without having a voice in the decision process that’s their choice.

      In a few decades maybe. Or in a non-voting manner similar to norway, but with how they sabotaged the eu from the inside while they were in it and the very conservative politics over there I don’t think the UK rejoining as a full member would be beneficial to the EU at this point.

        Would love the UK back. Besides wanting it to be easier to travel there, I think it is also the best way to show how beneficial the EU is. If they already want back in after such a short period of time it sends a strong message to the many anti-EU people across the continent.

              (more than half, strictly speaking, I was 16 during the referrendum. If you add up all the zoomers like me that have entered the voting pool since 2016 (and assume they would vote at the rates & ratios 18 year olds did) it’d overturn the 52% majority of the leave vote)

        What exactly do you feel the British have done which harms the rest of the EU?

      The issue is that the UK is too big both population and economy wise to be content with following EU’s laws unquestionably.

      They already complained about it when it was not actually happening so imagine the outrage this time around.

        I would say it has more to do with the size of their sense of self-importance and the size of their illegal money business.
