Good for you.

My point still stands though: from the point of view of somebody living in the EU, having the UK back isn’t all that much of a gain, especially anybody who looks at how the UK voted back when they were members and even more so if the UK and its people upon returning had more rights than other EU citizens (i.e. if they go their exceptions back).

But even more simple than that: bringing Britain into the EU without it changing enough Politically and a Society that the changes of another Brexit were very low, would be setting yourself for yet another such event when, say, Reform got enough power and a section of the Tory Party felt that anti-Europeanism would get them into power.

The Political reality of present day Britain is the rise of the complete total nutter Far-Right in the form of Reform UK and such ideologies so normalized that even the Labour Party is spewing anti-immigrant and transphobic rhetoric.

Even with the EU sliding rightwards, very few countries in it have an Overtoon Window so far to the right.
