Will The UK Ever Rejoin The EU?

After Brexit, the debate of whether the UK will ever rejoin the EU or not has been a recurring theme in public discourse. This debate has sharply divided public opinion in the country and the world over. Some support the move for the UK to rejoin the EU while others are strongly opposed to the idea. A small percentage of Britons are, however, indifferent about the issue. Going by what the major UK political players have said over time, however, no one can answer with any degree of certainty. Have you ever asked the question, will the UK ever seek to rejoin the EU? In this video, we’ll explore the possibility of the United Kingdom returning to the European Union.
Basics of About Brexit
Brexit, the short form for "British exit," refers to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union (EU). Following a referendum on 23 June 2016, Brexit officially occurred on 31 January 2020 when Britain officially exited the Union. Thereafter, The UK became the first sovereign country to leave the EU, ending its membership that began on 1 January 1973.
The Brexit process was a very complex and long one, spanning a period of four years from the referendum to its official completion on 31 January 2020. Brexit was initially triggered by the then-Prime Minister Theresa May's submission of the Article 50 withdrawal notification to the EU on the 29th of March 2017. Thereafter, negotiations followed to establish a new relationship between the UK and the EU.
Later Boris Johnson secured parliamentary support which allowed him to obtain approval for the Withdrawal Agreement negotiated with the EU. On 23rd January, 2020, it officially became law in the UK after receiving Royal Assent.
The Departure
Following the formal departure from the EU on 31st January 2020, the UK started a transition period that lasted until 31st December 2020. During this transition period, high level negotiations continued which eventually culminated in the agreement and signing of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement on 24th and 30th December 2020, respectively.
Throughout the Brexit process, some key factors influenced the decision. Among these are concerns over immigration and sovereignty, economic considerations such as trade agreements and EU membership costs, in addition to different perspectives on the global influence and status of the UK. During this phase, broader divisions among the British population became more evident. Regions like Scotland and Northern Ireland generally favoured EU membership, while other parts of the UK, particularly rural areas and older demographics, supported leaving the EU.
Conservative and Labour Positions
Both the Conservatives and Labour, have consistently stated their position not to re-enter the European Union, EU. The Labour party, under the newly elected Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership has embraced Brexit as a finalized decision with no possibility of reverting to the former arrangement of the UK being a part of the EU. Instead, the party has made it clear that it aims to negotiate improved trading conditions with the goal of minimizing trade barriers and supporting key industries like agriculture.
The Conservatives have also been consistent on their stance that the focus should be on how to leverage on the supposed opportunities of Brexit. This has been the same narrative, under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his successor, Rishi Sunak. These opportunities include new international trade agreements, quick infrastructure projects, and changes to EU rules that could give the UK more control over its regulations. This according to the Conservative Party could bring benefits such as more flexibility in VAT (taxes on goods and services) and reclaiming control over British waters, with the aim of revitalizing the fishing industry.

I'm still so bitter about Brexit. About the racist, jingoistic, criminals who voted for it and those who keep the lie of Brexit alive.

[Harry-tbyo]

The claim that many EU citizens in Germany would welcome the UK back in the EU is backed up by nothing. It is just the opposite. I never met anyone here who wants the UK back. Since the UK voted to leave the EU works much better and there is no desire or need to go back to the old days when the UK had its fair share in making the EU slow, sluggish and bureaucratic. The EU is not the pub down the road that you can enter and leave as it pleases you.

[carstenhardt]

German here.
Of course it would make a lot of sense for the UK to rejoin the EU.
But.
While the UK was in the EU, it has always made it clear that it was not really going with the program, instead putting on the handbrake at every opportunity. And we all remember Thatcher's haggling for "special conditions". Do we (EU) really want that back? No, I don't think so. If the UK wants to rejoin, it would have to be "for real this time". Yes, that would have to include giving up the Pound for the Euro - if you can't do that, why should we assume that you are serious?

[John_Lyle]

Britain may indeed join the EU, but it will not "rejoin", since it will no longer be granted the exceptions it had as a "founder" member, transferring its privileges from the EEC to the EU. If Britain wants to join the EU it will be required to adhere to the Copenhagen Criteria, align its laws and standards to EU standards or better, demonstrate respect for and protection of minorities, maintain a functioning market economy as well as the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union, and adhere to the aims of political, economic and monetary union.
I cannot see that happening in the near future, especially with Fartage in Parliament and Badenough in charge of the Tories.

[gerardflynn]

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland possibly yes.
England not so much especially because they have burned too many bridges for that to happen.

[andreasarnoalthofsobottka]

Remember the first referendum in 1976? The british yellow press had fueled anti - EU feelings and hasn't stopped ever since. In 2016 the leave campaign enjoyed substancial support from foreign meddlers like the KGB. British exceptionalism, racism, xenophobia, and cherry picking is not going away by high food prizes and souvereign- tea made from sewage.

[bertoverweel]

Not for years, and when they do not with the same exeptions and terms they had before Brexit.

[uwesiemon]

What‘s it going to be? In and out and in and out again and then back in and out?

[uweinhamburg]

Make the question more clear! What does rejoin mean? A) Just join to get back, join with all the conditions of all other new members?
Or does it mean B) to get back to a status that has existed before the separation?

A) Perhaps. §49 of the EUropean constitution makes clear that EUrope is open to any democratic state in Europe. I cannot read the mind of the British in 40 years or so.
B) Never. They have had it all and thrown it away.

[orlacof]

If they want back in, UK will no longer get special conditions they previously enjoyed. Fairs fair. I feel sorry for normal Brits who were duped, lied to or were dragged out tbh.

[nedgeson]

Yes. Yes it will. Just a question of when.

[TigerP]

Scotland should never have been pulled out by the UKSSR. And Independent Scotland will be welcomed back in to the EU. England won't.

[gumpholzrutzler]

Face it. The EU is fed up with the UK. No begging nor pleading will let them back in again.

[JODTARPE]

😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉THIBGS EERE BETTER OFF IN 1997..YES..U.K BACK TO E.U WILL DIMINIDH CRIMES

[kevinhunter]

Forgot to say. No. Because of the below.

[anthonyferris]

The EU that the UK left is itself facing big challenges and challenges. So it's far too early to even think seriously about it. Obviously it give the various nationalist cults something to chew on, but they are also facing huge headwinds themselves.

[markmerry]

No as the E U will be there as it stands.

[barrygriffiths]

Hopefully the UK will never rejoin the EUSSR.

[moonshine]

Surely, the question should be : will the EU allow the UK back?
Nah

[matthew]

god i hope not. i thank everything holy that both our main political parties understand whats the right choice from today.
for example something pro rejoin state 'small businesses closure rate since 2019 is a reason brexit was bad' - its even i this video
