    “The UK had special entering rights; we want them as well.”

    Probably all other nations wanting to join.

    And a huge drawback of relations of trust between already in place members.

    No. The EU bent the knee to Tatcher in order to grow in relevance and stability internationally. A rejoining UK needs to recognize it is joining an established and relevant bloc, not an upstart project.

      Then it doesn’t rejoin. It’s pretty simple, really.

      It also means that the UK stays as an anti-bloc voice, and it’s successes and failures define the EU.

      It’s a really simple concept, and one that is widely shared by the likes of Ian Hislop and Oli Dugmore. If the EU are inflexible, it doesn’t particularly help with euroscepticism in the UK and the EU.

        I’ll reserve my right to scepticism.

        Maybe the UK, after dredging the bottom of the barrel, perhaps in another 25 or 30 years, realizes the gravity of its mistakes and realizes the exit from the EU was a mistake for itself, by itself, and approaches the EU to rejoin, like any other member state.
