Didn’t the EU say that if we were to rejoin, the UK would have to adopt the Euro and all the other shit that the rest of the EU got when they joined. I don’t think we’re really in a position to dig our feet in and demand exceptions that we threw in the EU’s face when we left.
Right. If the UK tries to rejoin they’re going to get no favors from the rest of the EU, as an example to other member states that you can’t just play hokey pokey with a continental union. The UK will be miffed as a response. It’ll potentially take decades for a deal to work out for the UK to rejoin the EU, if that’s even its form at that point.
You might want to use the opportunity to push for a fishery policies reform which is overdue anyway, and if you ask nicely we’ll introduce national backsides for euro notes so that you can have Charles’ mug on them. The Euro is going to stay decimal, though.
Basically: Do it, but restrict yourself to things that already have some decent amount of support, or are quaint, of incomprehensible cultural importance. We’d get suspicious if you don’t.
