UK Parliament will debate a petition to join the EU on 24 March 2025
I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there is no future prospect of any, that the UK has changed its mind and that this should be recognised.
World politics are quite grim at the moment. Having the UK rejoin would be a great signal for a unified Europe.
It probably won't happen, but one may dream.
It's going to be blocked by the lords and then silently killed.
I still say Scotland and Wales should scram and join us on their own. Ireland was due reunification last year anyway.
Wales voted to leave.
I am not familiar with the political system of the UK at all, but am very interested what kind of consequences and official stuff are to be expected during and after the debate? Is anyone here having fun elaborating? Thanks.
This point will get raised in Parliament because they are technically obliged to. They'll quickly decide that they cannot persue rejoining the EU and they must continue with making the best they can of Brexit. Nothing will come of this.
It's still a poignant exercise though.
I think it's worth remembering how the UK ended up in this position.
It also hilights the irony of leaving the EU, and then working on mitigating all the problems of being isolated from the EU, while avoiding rejoining.
It's inevitable that the UK will rejoin, for all the reasons that brexit was a stupid idea. The only question is how many decades need to elapse before it's politically palatable to propose rejoining
I appreciate your answer, but I posted some follow-up questions here to maintain overview. Maybe you like to post over there to enlighten me further.
Is rejoining the EU even compatible with being in the CPTPP?
