    tl;dr:

    Seven years after the Brexit referendum, the proportion of Britons who want to rejoin the EU has climbed to its highest levels since 2016, according to a new survey. Data from YouGov’s latest Brexit tracker survey found that, excluding those who said they would not vote or did not know, 58.2% of people in Britain would now vote to rejoin. The percentage is only fractionally down on the 60% recorded in February this year - the highest figure since comparable data began in February 2012 - and has risen more or less consistently since a post-referendum low of 47% in early 2021. A record proportion of respondents in Britain also think other countries are now unlikely to follow its example and leave the EU in the next decade - 42% said it was unlikely, up from 26% three years ago, while 40% said it was likely, down from 58%. EU member states showed a similar trend, with 45% of respondents in France saying they thought another EU-exit was likely, compared to 55% in February 2020. In Germany the figures were 36% and in Denmark 29%. While sentiment towards EU membership has shifted significantly in Britain since the referendum, a slim majority of respondents say they still think it is unlikely Britain will rejoin the EU at some future point in the future.

    I remember the day after the referendum, an economist on the news said that once we leave we would spend 10 years regretting it, 10 years begging to be let back in, and another 10 years trying to meet the standards to be let in. Only 3 years in and I think about that a lot. Mostly because I consider it both depressing and optimistic.

    I think thats a great idea. Please submit you application for joining. And don’t call us, we (the EU) will call you when we are done with

    Albania
    Bosnia and Herzegovina
    Moldova
    Montenegro
    North Macedonia
    Serbia
    Türkiye
    Ukraine

    And the potential candidates
    Georgia
    Kosovo

    And what is your stance on King Charles on your Euro coins. But we can always talk about someone else on the Euro currency.
    As an EU-citizen I would love to skip the customsline and start working there without any interference

      Absolutely zero chance the UK would have to wait for Turkey to join before being allowed to join.

      I am myself am a EU citizen and I still don’t understand that anger of EU people against the British people over Brexit. The Brits fucked themselves over, they didn’t do anything to the EU. Actually, about half of them are suffering from the decision of the other half, so I can only empathize with the shit show they have to endure.

      The majority of Britons who want back in understand fully that we won’t receive the special treatment we did before we left.

        This was one of the arguments I posed to people I know that wanted to leave. That we’d never get a deal as good as we had.

        No-one on that side would listen at the time.
