I’d argue that allowing the pound to remain simply because the UK has a large economy is actually the elitist position. That would be giving them an exception to a rule due to their status. The Republic of Ireland drives on the left and is in the EU, from what I can tell there is no EU stipulation on which side of the road cars must travel on.

UK road signs are already EU style, so I just took that as a bit of ignorance.

UK were not the only country to retain their currency, I dont see it as an issue at all if they did again.

It's just bad faith arguments from people who care more about how they feel inside than welcoming and uniting millions of people, to benefit all. Allowing the UK back into the EU is a bigger middle finger to the far-right that caused the leave, than it is to deny entry.
