I bet that would drop by quite a bit when they see the terms wont be as favourable.

Brexit will go down as the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the British people.

is *rejoin* an option tho ?
it would be applying as a new member – different deal

And yet Farage the destroyer of the UK’s key role in the EU was leading the polls not long ago…

To be fair – I left the UK with Brexit announcement. It would kinda be funny if they come back.

Really good news. Unfortunately if you phrase the question as something like “would you be prepared to adopt the Euro currency in order to rejoin the EU”, a lot of that support evaporates.
I don’t really understand it… we barely use cash any more, money is just numbers on a screen, what does it matter which currency it’s in?

I wonder if they would also want to adopt the euro on rejoin?

Then please do! We’d be happy to have you back.

For the EU’s sake and to prevent Farage et al mobilising the morons in a first past the post election system that the UK re-entry is staged via rejoining the Customs Union initially, pause it and then incrementally move towards full Union over a defined period of say 20 years. That would be too late for me but there is a generation that needs to exit this mortal coil and for the benefits to accrue for the rest of the UK population to be overwhelmingly in favour of rejoining so that when the UK does rejoin it is an enthusiastic member and not fuelled by exceptionalism and nativism.

On what terms though ?
The question asked seemed a bit general.

Please my British neighbors, come back, we need you. We need a strong Europe in these harsh times. We’re not perfect, sure, neither are you. But we have a lot in common, and we’re fighting the same battles.

I think if the EU doesn’t let them rejoin with the pound then it’s simply not happening.
Joining the EEA is a lot more realistic

What about the opinion of us eu citizens? I dont want the Brits in if they can continue to just leave and join.

Lets get the thing back on the road then. Why mess about. Fuck sunk cost bias. Just take the loss from the brexit implementation and move on. Less Goooo!

Unpopular opinion: It would be good for the EU to also understand that brexit was a mistake and we need the UK just as they need us. EU would definitely benefit from having the UK back on board, specially during these turbulent days.
Having the UK back in the block would definetely enforce the EU as a new superpower now that we can no longer rely in the USA. Also I see no reason why they need to keep euro and join schengen, many members don’t use euro and are also not in schengen agreement.
I would want them to rejoin easily, without all the bureacracy. We gain a lot as well as them.

Cue endless messages about how the UK will have to “abandon its special privileges” etc etc and how we’re inherently untrustworthy and bad europeans and blah blah blah…..
I used to be pro-EU before i started lisgening to the vomments on this sub and saw how much mainland Europe seem to genuinely despise us and wish to see us suffer, humiliated and subjugated even at a time when we need each other to counter Russia, China and a hostile US.
But no, apparently leaving a voluntary union makes us the worst people ever.

Sure they can come back. After they fire Boris Johnston, Nigel Farage and the owners of the right wing media into the Sun.

Enough referendums. We pay our MPs to be representative. They should make the decision not more expensive referendums. If we rejoin it should be because a majority of MPs can pass it.
wgszpieg on
They’re out, so the right wing can’t blame the EU for all of the UK’s ills. As soon as they rejoin, it’ll be bendy bananas and Brussels beaurocrats all over again. And if the pendulum could swing so fast towards rejoining, it’ll just as easily swing the other way.
I prefer to not have a brexit mess every few years.

Everyone who is honest with themselves, can see that brexit was a disaster.
VolatileAgent42 on
We should never have left. There should have been some sort of confirmation first when the realities became apparent.
Furthermore, we should never have left in the way that we did. It was an act of national self harm. We should have gone for a minimal soft brexit/ a Norway type model.
I personally would rejoin in a heartbeat. Although I’m personally more of a europhile than most Brits, and would be happy joining the Euro, being a full and active member state etc etc, I strongly suspect a deal as similar as possible to what we had would have overwhelming support now.
I know we’re not going to have what we’ve lost and I feel sad about what we’ve lost.

I’d welcome them back in a heartbeat, f the haters. 😉
Welcome back.
Come back fellows – we need fish & chips
Not only do Brits want to rejoin, they even [want](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GnzOh4OWQAAdhW8?format=jpg&name=medium) a European Army.
