Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?

    Not only that but the EU doesn’t want to make it seem like people can come and go as they please. So they will make serious demands for rejoining.

        Schengen membership and no rebate are the 2 big ones aside from the euro iirc

        If the EU are feeling particularly salty they might add the metric system but that’s not a current condition of membership afaik

            That won’t happen because it would be an unreasonable requirement and for no real point.

            It would require a ridiculous amount of road maintenance and sign changes and it would be basically burning money. It would be like asking the French to correctly signpost things, utterly unreasonable.

          They probably wouldn’t force schengen as we’re in a common travel area with Ireland who aren’t in Schengen so they’d have to force in on them too.

      Yeah exactly, not to mention that the EU has called the UK “a trouble maker” in regards to the UK rejoining.
