How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

I hope that we are not 'decades away' from rejoining.
It's cold outside....

Sadly, and relistically, we are.

It's not our choice to rejoin, it's the EU's decision to allow us back in, and there are other means available than the two I have mentioned they will probably insist we adopt before considering us a serious proposition.

They will probably insist we have poportional representation in our general elections as well.

How long will it take the British public to accept the Euro, Schengen, and PR in our elections as reasonable conditions for entry?

Those are just some of the EU rules we would have to accept. Our consumer, environmental, and employment regulations would also have to be in line with theirs.

We currently have a government hellbent on divergence. We will probably have a Labour government in power in 12 months or so that has promised convergence, but how comfortable will the averge British person be with losing the pound to adopt the Euro and all the other measures I have mentioned the EU would require us to accept?

It's a long way away in the future.

David Davies on LBC telling us it hasn’t all gone wrong.
That‘s good enough for me!

Did he say what had gone right, or even answer the title of the thread?

No.
He just waffled incomprehensibly for 5 mins.
But he did assure us that it was all going terribly well and not to worry and everything will be lovely.

I find it hard to envisage a scenario where the UK would rejoin. It will take decades, several.
So which politician is going to dedicate their career to "brejoin"? It's much more difficult to sell to the electorate and win a referendum. "It's not them it's us" isn't a great political slogan and doesn't immediately lend itself to grift.

There is a general drift in public opinion that brexit has been a mistake. It's too late now to change the result, but an interesting observation is the brexiteers are now increasingly saying 'this wasn't the brexit I voted for'.

The realities of leaving were dismissed as project fear, and they were voiceiferous in their suuport of voting to leave after the referendum by saying 'I know what I voted for'.

I voted to remain in the EU and I'm not surprised at what has happened. I voted to prevent it from happening.

I knew what I was voting for.

It was absolutely insane to me that anyone living abroad would vote for Brexit. But then again, the most anti-immigrant places are always the towns the no immigrants want to go to. Like this classic...
