I couldn’t agree more.
The only condition I would add to their come back is a mandatory adoption of the Euro currency.
You want to enter the European market, you play by its rules.
That seems fair. Might make it a little more difficult to leave on a whim, too.
And if they'll get the princess of the EU treatment again I'm strictly against rejoining.
I think 70% is a bit much, 2/3 majority or 60-40 seems more achievable.
My understanding is brexit has harmed both the EU and the UK, by the obvious virtue of the EU becoming smaller and the whole point is being a big economic bloc, but I don't see the harm now after they've already ruined that.
So what gets destroyed if they were to come back at 51% and then pull a brexit 2?
You mean besides the absurdly high cost for the preparation, changes in border checks, negotiations and whatever else? It was fucking exhausting.
I didn't think of that, that's exactly what I was asking. Thank you. Sounds absolutely miserable.
Because Europe is not a fucking mill that can be quit or joined out of a whim.
