I do not think it is going to happen. UK is to prideful to join as a normal member and they wont get their privileges back.

As a UK citizen which voted to remain. We can't go back, it's not worth the headache. Our politicians are incapable of anything as complicated as rejoining, we are a shambles.

I would rather stay out

[–] Obonga@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

Understandable. I am a little sad for myself as i never visited UK while it was part of the EU. Time to renew my passport.

If the fucking Ukraine can do it, so can the UK. But I agree with @Obonga, the Brits would rather crash their economy five times over than be one among equals. Who knows, maybe the Scots and a united Ireland will join us someday.

I see your point, but I think you underestimate how corrupt and self centered our politicians are.

At the highest governmental level it's all about looking after your own pocket in all circumstances, the UK is genuinely doomed

[–] lulztard@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

That's generally a western problem. Our politicians are so weak they can barely be arsed to just line their own pockets anymore. The Big Wheel of History is turning towards hardship again. Maybe together at the other side? See you guys in a united Europe of equals in 2150. Cheers.

It's just "fucking Ukraine" not "the fucking Ukraine" FYI.

Actually it's "the fucking UK reign"

They can’t rejoin, can they? I thought the EU specifically wrote language making it impossible/ quite difficult for them to rejoin just to make sure they weren’t going to be the cat at the sliding door

I think they can, but not for the conditions they used to be. And UK was immensly privileged as EU member.
