Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?
My question is if the EU would even want the country back. Would you want to deal with a country that flip-flops that hard?
IMO the flip-flop would basically kill any bargaining capacity from the UK. Before it was * but what if we leave, we’re stronger together and you have more to loose by letting us leave than by giving us a small concession* now it’ll be Why do you want any special concession ? You’re a new member like any other and have to abide by the same rules
IMO, it would show the power and value of the EU. The UK would be far more willing to admit that they shouldn’t have left if they can get back in. The EU stands to gain from such a prominent country (and one that can say so from experience) undeniably admitting that it’s better to be in the EU than to leave. That’s some stellar advertising of the economic value of the EU.
Though they definitely shouldn’t bend every rule to let them back in. The pound should be replaced by the euro. It’s dumb that the UK got that exception.
