    How do you convince the EU to let us back in?

    We’ll need a couple of Labour terms before they’ll answer the phone.

      EU demands are the easy part. It’s rather obvious what they would be. Something along the lines of: ‘The UK can rejoin at any time, but without all the special treatment it has been receiving.’

      Try to convince the people that’s good. Will another referendum still be in favour of rejoining, if you have to accept the Euro, new immigration laws, maybe the metric system and other standards?

      I have some doubts there.
