    You put your UK in

    You take your UK out

    You put your UK in and you shake it all about

    You do the EU pokey and you freeze the poor to death

    That’s what it’s all about

    It’ll be funny if the UK rejoins the EU but this time they don’t get all their funny little exceptions like being allowed to check passports and not using the Euro

    Do a second Scottish independence referendum, and while they're at it let the occupied six counties have a vote too

    It would be funny if they passed a referendum to join the EU again, and they just leave it there and keep bothering the EU every week to accept them and britbongs continue to get mad when they say no

        Endless referendums of rejoining and reexiting the EU with each rejoining with ever more humiliating terms.

          Every new PM will take turns creating a referendum to join/exit every 4 months

        The EU requires for any country that wants to join to: adhere to "democratic principles" (LGBT rights being at least nominally respected, and other lib-ass metrics for it, but :ukkk:'s treatment of trans people might be enough to turn them away), and to have their finances and economic situation in order (IMF-like privatization and austerity).

        The UK is going into a recession, and treats its own citizens with a contempt that used to be reserved for its colonial subjects. If the UK applied to become part of the EU right now as if it had never been a part of it, it wouldn't get accepted without a lot of political pain lol.

      Leaving the EU can mean radically different things. There's leaving the EU to escape the neoliberal orthodoxy and build a just and equal society and then there's leaving the EU to descend into a Thatcherite cargo cult of austerity and racism. Staying in the EU is preferable to the latter by a far stretch.

        In theory Brexit was a good idea, the only problem was that it was the British who were in charge of it

        Same with Iceland and joining, Brussel neoliberals are vastly preferable to Iceland neoliberals

            Who is going to stop them? There's like three police officers and technically it would be domestic violence instead of terrorism.

    The UK got a sweetheart deal when they joined the EU the first time. I don't think it's impossible that they get let back in, but Brussels will make the Anglos bend the knee and prove how much they want it.

    Second referendum would get a no to rejoin result because people would vote against it on the general principle. The attitude would be "we've done this, we're not doing it again".

    You need 15-20 years to pass before people consider it a viable time to revisit the issue.

    And we shouldn't revisit it.

        Plus the UK standard of living would revert to the medieval period. How would they conduct an election? Write their ballot down on sheep?

    yeah, uh, they're about to find out really quick that while the EU commission is used to putting up with parties that don't go well together and try to find some kind of compromise so that they don't have to drink themselves to sleep again, each individual country of the EU is out for blood and can VETO any kinda of move to join the UK would ever offer

    I think Norway is already veto-ing them joining the customs union (Norway is a memeber of the customs union, just not of the single market), as such the UK would have to actually rejoin the single market to get into the customs union. Would anyone else be against that? Who knows, lmao.

        When the UK left the EU, I was worried that Denmark would suddenly become the champion of the "Euro-sceptics" as Britain had been before. My fear was, that Denmark would overplay its hand and get steamrolled, since we don't have anything that the EU really wants or needs, and our aggricultural sector sucks up a lot of EU funds. Then the UK spent the next 6 years shitting itself to death, while their economy and living standards continued to plummet, and my fears turned out to be unfounded, since even the dumbest freaks in the suburbs could see that maybe leaving the EU wasn't quite as fun as they imagined. Of course, our freaks and morons just ended up importing more American culture war shit and started suddenly giving a shit about "Academic freedom" at the universities, so now we have to watch our chud parties compete in the anti-woke campaigns which nobody in Denmark has ever heard of.

          Can y'all still accuse someone of being unmanly and force them to fight you to the death right there and then?

            My law-degree did not cover that part, but given that it's likely a viking law from shortly after Denmark unified, I'm pretty sure we never actually went through the motions to get rid of it. So the answer is that you probably can.
