Its highly unlikely the UK will rejoin any time soon. The requirements for rejoining are much higher than those for leaving.
Rejoining would mean signing up for the Euro, and the common agricultural policy with no rebates - both those things would extremely difficult to get people to vote for here.
And I have to be honest - I did not want to leave the EU but I would not vote to rejoin. Regretting something is not the same as being for the reverse.
Brexit has not been as bad as I thought it would be. I look at the EU and the continued lack of reform and its democratic deficit and I’m kinda glad thats no longer my problem. I wish the EU all the best, but it needs to become more accountable to voters and it needs to find a way to deal with states like Hungary. Plus the rise of far right parties like AFD in Germany and the real risk Le Pen may be the next president of France honestly makes me feel safer out of the EU. How would the EU deal with far right parties in actual power? The democratic checks and balances seem so weak.
I wish the EU the best of luck with these problems. The UK has its own national problems to focus on and I feel like thats finally happening as politicians are no longer obsessing over the EU.
