The majority of British people think Brexit was a mistake. Can we propose full membership with the exceptions previously agreed to maintained, and then Britain can hold a new referendum?
Everyone is tired of this post-Brexit bickering, let’s agree to act as if Brexit had never happened.

The trouble is, with the rise of Reform in the UK, it’s clear that the right wing propaganda is still there and as effective as ever.
Britain has an issue of external influence. Very similar to MAGA. It’s very naive to think this has disappeared since Brexit, even if it was always a bad idea and proven since to be.

Oh wow, UK is still asking for special treatment, my god, they never change.

It’s a tricky situation.
As a Brit I’d love to be back in the EU with what we had but we really do not deserve those exceptions and the special treatment at the same time (rightly so, if the electorate are ignorant of a political body, that’s on us – it makes us look unreliable and untrustworthy).
Then there’s the rise of the far-right and far-right rhetoric, driven by traditional media and social media. These make us a risky partner, as anything that may happen could be reversed, even with reassurances because, let’s face it, Reform and other far-right supported bodies and organisations do not exactly play by the rules, let alone think.
That said, given how crazy the world is, we should all stick together and do everything we can to be cordial, supportive and working together.
There are binds between all European countries, not just the EU and the UK, which are stronger, and more things that we have in common than what keeps us apart.

If Britain were to rejoin or stayed for that matter they would of automatically been a big voice on the inside.
Now they are to small to matter to all big economic blocs.
With reform Perhaps winning the next election its wise for the EU to remain vigilant.
That being said its best for the EU and UK to be part of the same club.

I voted to remain and am not a fan of brexit but it’s stuff like this that encourages dislike of the EU because they are just such hard work to deal with. EU red tape is exhausting and takes way too long to be beneficial to anyone. Suffocation by bureaucracy

We would need to end freedom of movement before letting the UK back into the single market.

I don’t think UK still deserves that special treatment. Also depending who will be in in charge, it could be the next Hungary for the EU…

this is cakism, because labour has not cleaned up the mess they inherited, they need to start with levensson 2.0 and make online media organizations criminally responsible in the case of psy opps against the people.

Just no. You made your choice now you bear the full consequences. EU doesn’t want you back in any form.
Respectfully.

The Guardian article seems a bit confused. The EU hardly proposed a ‘customs union under the EEA’ as the existing EEA members, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, are not in a customs union with the EU, nor is Switzerland with its separate bilateral agreement. What Britain needs is full access to the single market. As for freedom of movement, Brexit and the Boriswave led to millions of non-European, non-white, non-Christian immigrants (and their grandmothers) replacing the European, white, Christian immigrants from the EU. Going back to the old freedom of movement should be a selling point, even for Brexiteers.

Given that Labour will cease to be a majority in the next election, it makes perfect sense for the EU to keep Britain at arm’s length.

I do not think that trying to get back what you could not during Brexit’s negotiations is a good plan.

As it would surprise exactly nobody, freedom of movement is a key foundation of the EU. If the labour (or <insert here political party>) essentially rule that out, reintegration isn’t going anywhere.
The best the UK can do is remove the barriers *another right wing party* stirred up. Whilst it’s improving the general sentiment is the British public are sanguine about the EU and pretty much always have been – it could be island mentality. I don’t think there’s any animosity, except for those who intend to profit off it.
