    There’s such a prevailing vibe that the EU would want us back too… What if they don’t?

    I mean, after events of this week, it’s probably more likely, but even then they’d be well within their rights to tell us to sod off.

      EU doesn’t want to renegotiate all the trade deals and all the aggreements and mutual rulings with an unruly child of a country that still thinks that they are more important than anyone else. More importantly they aren’t fans of an idea of doing it every three months or whatever.
      But if the UK will get their shit together and will want to join for real and be a good member of the Union, I am sure everyone aggrees that they are more than welcome.

        Agree we (the UK) can’t be on-again-off-again partners in the European project, though if things shift enough that we were properly in on it it’d help to have another big player to offset populists like Orban getting their claws in.

      Even during early phases of Brexis the EU was open to the UK rejoining - in an official manner.

      I don’t see why that would have changed. If the UK wants to rejoin, it can apply, and the join process will start. It’s simple, really.
