Only among the 55+ you’ll find more support for staying out
Too bad. The EU doesn’t want them back!
We don’t? I think we do. Just not with the original deal that was a lot better than what regular EU countries get.
There is already Poland and Hungary who piss everyone, no need for a third
A request to rejoin the EU should only be granted if more than 75% of UK voters agree to it, or as soon as there’s another single digit mood change, they’d leave again.
I honestly think this should be the standard for all binding referendums with answers “keep it as it is” / “change it”. Maybe not 75% but at least 55%. Implementing a change at 50% is so ridiculous. It can swing around by a single news story, weather at the polling date etc.
I wonder how many of those who want to rejoin would agree with adapting the Euro.
There’s no need to
Well, maybe the EU won’t give them a choice if they want to join. Every new joiners adapts to the euro, why should the UK be special?
Because the pound is strong and there are other countries with their own currency.
It was never an obligation
Every EU member but Denmark is obliged to adopt the Euro and the days of granting exceptions on accession are over.
On the contrary, the EU will make sure that the UK isn’t going to pull a Sweden and deliberately fail the Euro criteria just to avoid adopting it on a technicality.
What might happen is introducing national backsides for Euro notes so you can have your King’s mug on yours. We’re not monsters after all.
“The pound is strong.” Keep telling yourself that, mate. Reality disagrees with you, the pound knows only one direction vs USD and EUR, and that is down

Still strong tho and like I said it’s not an obligation to enter the EU
That’s nice but why would we want them back?
Because they’re a huge economy and an important regional power. Also, and perhaps now most importantly, to rewind Russia’s successes in driving wedges between western countries.
When we take them back there needs to be clear repercussions for leaving though. We need to disincentivise going back and forth about it.
As a starter any trade or economic agreements made, that are touching any aspect that is normally negotiated by the EU as a block need to be revoked in their entirety. Also i think some form of compensation for the damages caused to the EU by brexit should be paid.
Otherwise going back and forth will be a wedge happily driven by Russia, China and others.
They can start by changing their road signs to be in km
uk is like a girl having mood swings while on her period.
Yes, because in glorious EU land there is no inflation at all right now.
I don’t think anyone claimed that.
