As an EU citizen, I'm in favor of the UK rejoining, but only when they are ready for a long-term political commitment to the EU. We don't need a second Hungary or Poland under PiS^s^, where the, are constantly undermining the EU.

With no special deals, basic membership? Alright. Otherwise gtfo.

I've already said this before.

No more special privileges, the pound goes, you do everything like the other countries that wanted to join.

The fuck we do. They need to get rid of their stupid first past the post crap. If they do introduce a wealth tax, then maybe.

Honestly, should there be a condition on this? Like perhaps, the UK is only allowed to rejoin if a referendum is approved by a supermajority of the population? Really. What's to stop the UK from see-sawing again and starting this whole mess all over again? The surest way to prevent that is to require a referendum with 2/3 majority approval. This ensures that EU membership is popular, and thus likely to be more durable. It is hard to get a 2/3 majority on anything.

Or perhaps some other mechanism could be proposed. How do you avoid the risk of the UK just doing this all over again?

We don't.

the same UK that brands protestors as terrorists?

We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.
