It's a shame that Starmer won't budge on it, although a part of me wonders if it is a ploy to get votes in, so that he can switch his stance once in power and do pretty much what he wants.

Like it or not, the gammon vote is quite powerful, but once his five year term is in, he could get back into the EU within 1-2 years, and take the next 3-4 benefitting from a stronger economy.

I hate to break it to you but you're dilusional, you have no idea how much most of the EU despises the UK and your arrogance is only adding fuel to the fire.

I mean, I've watched Eurovision before.

Besides, my point is almost entirely around the UK's viewpoint of the EU. The terms of rejoining are irrelevant unless the UK public would back it without kicking off.
