I think my question would be "why would the EU take us back at this point?" We had until the end of 2020 to hit the "undo" key, but didn't and now the ship has sailed.
The EU has obviously an interest in getting the UK back in some shape. But I would say that nobody is in a hurry right now. The UK needs to sort itself out, decide what it wants and be consequent and solid about it. There are currently many discussions on the shape and reform of the EU and more people defend the idea of different levels of integration available. From a true federation with single currency in its core, to contries with free border, free movement, common market, but own currency and non-federated. That second tier could be ideal for countries like the UK and Ukraine, at least in the foreseable future.
That's wonderful to hear and I completely agree! I just hope it won't take the UK too long to get it together.
Because it would be fun watching you guys bitch about it?
Lol fair! But we complain about everything anyway!
I think it would benefit both, but the UK needs to decide what it wants. The rest of the EU27 already said that the door remains open if the UK changes its mind. It'll be through the regular process, with tough negotiations, but the EU is always open for business and always has been.
