      Yet the silence continues from the big 2 parties.

      That is not going to be susitanable for Labour once (hopefully) in power.

      We left the EU so we could have the “sovereignty” to make our own decisions.

      The irony being that we elected to join the EU and we already had the best deal with access to the single market and being allowed to retain our own currency.

      I’m convinced that if we left the EU but the terms of our relationship with the EU remained the exactly the same that would be enough to satisfy brexiteers because the majority have no idea what it means or a plan for an alternative.

      Well who would have thought that? Even if the British government decided to try to return to the EU, the road back would be very long, as many Europeans are now sceptical about the trustworthiness of the British.

      I can only hope that the election results in Germany with AfD gaining power and the likes of Brexit can be linked to Russian interferance and in effect the entire mess being labeled as Russian Influence (we know already) meaning the UK can rejoin with as little change from pre-brexit as possible.

      This isn’t very far down on the proportion of the populace that actually voted for brexit. Sure the vote was almost 50/50 but in the context of the whole population it was something like 27%.

      So let me see if I understand this right-

      When we were out of the EC we wanted to be in it. We joined the EC which became the EU which we wanted to be out of. So we left the EU & now we want back in again?

      Is the grass always greener?

      By my calculations if we rejoin then shake it all about we’ll be close to a full hokey cokey.

      It just doesn’t make sense for us to be outside one of the world’s largest trade blocs which sits right on our doorstep

      [How Brexit broke Britain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLF_ZkIpVrQ)

      Watched this on YT yesterday and found it quite interesting. Biggest takeaway for me is that the ones who voted to leave and regret their decision are often those campaigning hardest to get back in.

      I also really liked how the Leave interviewee and Remain interviewer both bonded over hating Remain voters who regurgitate the following to Leave voters “You got what you voted for, no use complaining now.”

      Giving the vote to the British public wasn’t a good idea considering half the British public (myself included) had no idea what we were actually voting for…and the other half voted for the wrong reasons

      It was only 52% of people who voted anyway! Since then covids killed a load of old people and a lot of the youth have come of voting age. It should never have passed with such a slim majority

      Well yer… it was a pretty dumb decision really.

      And in the 8 years since the Brexit referendum a whole new generation has become adults, looked around and thought “wtf have you done to me?”

      If that’s accurate, that a huge swing in favour of rejoining. However I think Starmer is right to not even mentioned Brexit until after the election and things of settled down in a couple of years. Anything before that time will be a circus show. What I do hope is he will quietly lay the groundwork for the UK to rejoin.

      I believe it will actually be the Tories (providing they stay moderate and an actual party) that will eventually start talking about rejoining first. That will be a green light for Labour to do it, I’m certain the Lib Dems will start talking about it at some point after the election – which will be interesting as they will probably be the opposition party at this rate.

      However, the EU won’t even listen to ideas of us rejoining until all major political parties in the UK agree we need to rejoin. I’m not bothered about the Farage party as they will most likely implode, just like all far-right parties do.

      Only 24% of Britons think country should be outside EU, well, coincidentally, 17 million voted for brexit which is about 25% of the population…..
