Rejoin the EU?

Last weekend in London, there was another march in support of the UK rejoining the UK.

And an official from the EU stated that of course the EU wanted the UK to rejoin.

And Michael Barnier suggested that the UK could rejoin on the same terms it left on.

All sound fine.

But.

We must remember the time and cost that the EU spent on Brexit. And the fact that it wasn't just Brexit, but the rejection of decades of European unity that the UK threw in the bin.

I have said this before, that for the UK to be in a position to rejoin, as a nation we must have an honest conversation about what Brexit was, and how much it has cost the country. With people like Farage suggesting still that Brexit wasn't done properly or hard enough, we're clearly not there yet.

And for the EU to be happy to readmit the UK, there would have to be overwhelming political support for rejoining. And with Labour and the Conservatives both against joining the SM or CU, there is no political will for rejoining, regardless for over 60% of voters wanting it, and more supporting closer relations.

There can be no real growth in the economy until there are closer ties.

And the media could hold those responsible for Brexit to account, by going back through interviews and quotes over the last ten years about how Brexit would only have uupsides. Until then, we just go round in circlies, circling the drain of doom.
