Rejoining the EU would enhance Britain’s sovereignty. We’d get our seat back at the table where key decisions are taken & have a say on the single market rules that so many UK companies have to follow anyway (as it’s the world’s largest market, where we sell most of our exports).

I guess since the Brexit, there was never as much willingness on the continent to welcome Britain back to the EU as there is now. I think this is a historical window of opportunity - I hope you can use it.
I want membership on equal terms with others, not opt-outs & exceptions.
I'm a European federalist.
I would prefer to live in times less interesting...

Brexit has clearly shown that we NEVER LOST our sovereignty in the EU. We were always free to leave and make our own way. So the main argument for Brexit is gone. It's now time to admit that Brexit doesn't work and to accept that we're stronger with the ENHANCED SOVEREIGNTY of EU membership.
Corbyn carefully avoided supporting europe in his election denying Brits a choice
He got the brexit he wanted but threw his election
We need to be part of a bloc the size of a superpower for the nation's security and trading advantages. The🇪🇺 is bigger than the USA, bigger than 🇷🇺. China is bigger than eifher. It's common sense to be in the EU and not in isolation.
An independent Scotland would fit in in the EU: Scotland shares the same values.
England unfortunately is unable to shake off " empire " and archaic feudal practices.
Reform the UK first....
PS. I think we need to find a better word to use under current circumstances…..maybe a transformation
Now you ask to be let back in?
You can understand there will be some reluctance. You have lost credibility.
But that’s on the voters who prefer to suck than deal with the cold reality.
Brexit was a massive mistake.
We're broke, that's why Labour is going after tax loopholes and other places where our paid in taxes are bleeding back out.
But it won't be enough.
The Tories broke the UK, and Reform will use the Trump card to get in.
Then we're stuffed.
Why ignore this?
I'm saying that the right-wing media and Reform UK are vilifying Labour and people I work with all think Reform UK is the way to go, and I work in a car factory in Northwest England.
They're "turkeys voting for Christmas" and they can't see it.
Either he’s stealthily ‘moving towards’ one of those things behind the scenes (in which case he’s a dissembler and dishonest) or else he means just that (and stubbornly denies hope to the majority).
Feel free to ignore reality. But don’t expect to be treated seriously if you do.
He’s weak.
And the clearest evidence of his weakness is the govt campaign to show they’re serious about immigration (framed as a ‘problem’ when it can be framed otherwise) by picturing poor sods being marched onto aeroplanes for removal.
My father-in-law is a contract farmer and is seeing his work dry up because all of the trad farms are being bought by the large farms.
They blame Labour.
Me - I am sickened by Labour's blackmail approach.
Muted. Go sing your “oh Compo is Jesus!” songs elsewhere.
It won't bring back the subsidies to counties and farmers, though.
Likely no new Brexit, yes to global minimum taxation, yes to Fit for 55.
Internal UK reforms - more HoC and voting, corrupt HoL appointments than Monarchy and the few remaining hereditary Lords.
Give it a few more years and they'll all be dead and forgotten and we can return to sanity.
Voter apathy among the young is a big issue anecdotally.
You can't expect the young generation to stop the tantrums of the 50+males, it should be the other way round.
There is no excuse, they know better
It's also true that a lot of young people have been shut out from voting with the new draconian rules introduced
It's a big shame Putin's Poisonous Puppets like Orbàn are making everything difficult by openly saying they'll welcome "highly skilled Russians" into their countries.
Which to curly thinkers means they're hinting they'll welcome the FSB & chums into the EU to then sabotage UK🤷🏻♂️
Unfortunately for Labour, that's the case.
Every policy wonk working for Labour has had their nose surgically removed and replaced with a MailOnline-detection device, which points where to go.
The 2029 election is a foregone conclusion.
I can't even say I like Starmer but his🌹isn't infested with Green Tankies who think they're funky Anarcho-communists.
It was electable & still is after BLUkip murdered us for their portfolios.
Superior to NATO-hating Lexit Eurosceptic Tankie Useful Idiot Jeremy Corbyn🙄
Can't answer the question about Keir Hardie can you?
I guarantee you never heard of Robert Owen because nearly nobody has including the vast majority of the British public and even Labour members. HTH!
Put simply for simpletons: WIth Starmer in, the future is Farage/Reform and goodbye Britain. Farage is so far up the trump rear, we'll be the 51st state within 2 years if he gets in.
For Britain to continue to exist, EU!
As a former worshipper of Dear Leader Saint Jeremy, he's more strange & more concerning the more one learns about him IMO.
Some of his fans think he's literally Jesus due to his initials!
I enjoy your posts.
Meanwhile his online CULTISTS often like to erase or diminish Mo Mowlam stopping the Troubles & act like he's the hero. Odd.
The UK requires all 27.
One objection.❓️
What Country in the EU has not been Disparaged by the majority of Citizens in Angerland. Since 24th June 2016.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
1st January 1973 joined without meeting the Full Criteria. 1975 1st Brexit Referendum. Labour.
The UK+NI. Don't meet the present Criteria.
The Sick Man of Europe returned in less than 4 years after the Brexit
We were influencing & shaping world policy
Profitably
But anally retentive racists hate sharing anything with others even when it's in their own interests
So now our GDP PC is ca 23rd in the world. Way below other Western Europe economies
(IMF)
Bigots really fk you up
If you vote for a brexit (accepting) party don't vote for them in the belief they'll undo brexit.
People who voted Labour to get back in the EU should check their IQ.
I suggest going through the manifestos...
I know which parties so why don't you?
Probably undoing brexit is less important to you than you first suggested...
You made the suggestion, would it not seem logial that you can explain your own suggestion?
If I have asked too much I am sorry
The EU would need to see a decade of consistentcy.
No what the EU would want to see regarding consistency.
You'd be "joining" for a second time.
There are no terms and conditions for rejoining, only the present day terms and conditions
(which the UK helped draft when a member)
for joining should you qualify
(which presently you wouldn't).
The UK would have to join the Q.
I fear many britons, when they say "rejoin", really mean "let's go back to how it was, pre brexit" rather than what triggering art49 to join the EU actually means.
All those major opt-outs of EU initiatives from the Euro to Schengen are gone.
Accordingly, watch those present day UK opinion poll majorities for "rejoining" shrivel and contract when it's understood that the UK would be joining under present day terms and conditions, not returning to the terms and conditions they left on..
Present day conditions it shall be.
But it simply isn’t a matter of Starmer “just joining the EU” as so many people claim, and this thread will attract lots of people who are going to let the Far Right back into power because the liberties to accept that the UK can’t just saunter into Brussels and say “we’re back lads”.
Stop lying and tell the truth for once.
Did the EU send an invite?
America will need to remember this too, NATO has only ever protected the usa.
United Ireland & Scotland will join soon.✅
#ScottishRepublic #ScotlandInEU
How can that be serious question?.... if you can Google it....
I often see these questions that have already been answered years ago....
And you get angry at me?
You probably got the wrong ideas about the EU..... if so stay clear from wanting to rejoin the EU.
I prefer facts maybe you don't.
An independent Scotland will have to accept the Euro 👍
I
No idea where anti-ScotsIndy people get the idea that Malta can qualify for EU and Euro membership but Scotland can't.
So the UK would have to give up the pound.
Remember: the pound is also a competing currency.... why would you want to compete with your own side...
Plaid in Wales
Alliance or SF in Northern Ireland
Given 61% of the UK workforce are employed by an SME they could be a big contributor to growth.
They talk about a "changed world" but stubbornly refuse to change.
Not 'crazy'.
I never wanted any of the opt-outs that govts here whined abt. I'm a European federalist.
I don't think you can label or libel an entire population in that way. There are no hive-minds based on geographical accident.

Other than that, get an adult to explain this very simple graphic to you.
I want revenge.
