    Well based on the full text, it’s still the “We want the butter, the money from the butter and the farmer’s wife”…

    …so? 100’000 is nothing. But even if we assume 51 %, would it actually work?

      Why shouldn’t it work? The EU is open for new members. As a recent EU member, UK should fulfill all requirements for membership. If the UK gov wants, they can apply for membership and that should be relatively quick

        One of the requirements is a unanimous invitation by the countries already in the EU. Countries that remember the circus it was every time anything had to be approved in the council because of the British government. The chances of UK joining while a single country can still veto decisions is about 0.

        Why? Because they just left…? No idea if the representatives of all those countrieswould just allow them right back after they talked so much shit about the EU and then proceeded to do so much damage and extra work.

          Or every other country would like a clear signal that leaving the EU is a bad thing and “even UK wants back in”

      Other countries will block us and manipulate us, such as asking for the Elgin Marbles back etc.

      You know the other points sounded kinda reasonable but I draw the line on “we might have to give shit back which we couldn’t keep our greasy thieving claws off of”. Weird take my guy.
