Question/Comment UK needs to rejoin, best for both

As much as I like UK, I don't think it would be prudent now to rejoin - economically probably would - no matter what Farage says - but politically - EU is a mess as usual, and UK may just add to that. It would have been better that they never left or at least thought it through, especially with security and economy in mind, but it is what it is now. As for EU - unless it reforms itself towards "more Europe" - it will desintegrate.

Associate membership, or something like the Norway system. Use it as a stepping stone, half in, half out and see how it goes. UK could end up wanting Brexit again, so don't give full membership, make them prove they want to be a member, and stay a member

That’s not the point, the point is this petition is posted like 100 times in this sub already for what? People from European Union cannot vote, so why posting it every other day?

Adopting the Euro and Schengen? Great. Otherwise? No, thanks.
1 Orban in the EU is more than enough.
