MODERATORS
I think you underestimated the bloody minded xenophobic national pride that dragged the UK out of the EU. It will be a long time before the political will to even try and rejoin emerges. Even then I suspect it will be hesistent as there's no way the EU will give us the same deal we had last time.
Maybe I do. But I've already seen polls that appeared to be favouring (albeit marginally) the UK rejoining the EU. And this is only after a handful of years.
Please don't take it as an offense, that's not how I mean it, but I think Brexit showed that the UK needed the EU more than the EU needed the UK, so I expect those numbers to grow even further as the people realize it.
48% of us realised at the time :(
