Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m not personally opposed to a reentry at all. Even after all the abuse my friends there have suffered from Brexiters (and I have, but only online) for their sake and ours I would take a (reformed) UK back in a heartbeat. It’s just that the political reality is that for now Brexit has happened. It can’t be stopped anymore because it has already happened at the beginning of the year. Now it’s just a question of the transition period ending at the end of this year and us finding a new relationship with them.
Absolutely. Though as long as there isn’t a clear majority that wants to rejoin (and not just a majority that now thinks Brexit was a mistake; Unfortunately those two aren’t the same question) there is not much we can do. This is very much an internal UK problem. They desperately need a voting system reform and deal with their unresolved issues around devolution. Until then all we can do is look on, take the abuse in the press and in the pubs and wait.
