I’m not sure it’s a straightforward as that, with the veto.They probably would have us back, but on their terms and not the very favourable terms that we had before (opt outs, no joining the Euros, rebates etc. etc.). As has been mentioned before - we've fucking blown it.
I can’t see every singe member state being happy with a vacillating, churlish member - where a significant proportion of the population are instinctively opposed to membership and will spend all the time post rejoining tediously moaning about straight bananas. We’ll be seen as an unwelcome and unnecessary distraction that isn’t worth the mither in many quarters.
The only way I can see it happening is if there’s some sort of supermajority for rejoining, along with the surrender of the pound and the other matters to which you refer which I think is virtually impossible for the foreseeable.
The referendum vote suitably demonstrated how public opinion is divided on this subject, namely broadly 50/50 - and I simply don’t think a mealy-mouthed equivocal 52/48 vote to rejoin is going to **** the mustard, I’m afraid.
Basically there’s too many selfish, stupid cunts in this country to make the chances of rejoining anything other than vanishingly small.
We really have fucking blown it.
