A request to rejoin the EU should only be granted if more than 75% of UK voters agree to it, or as soon as there's another single digit mood change, they'd leave again.
I honestly think this should be the standard for all binding referendums with answers "keep it as it is" / "change it". Maybe not 75% but at least 55%. Implementing a change at 50% is so ridiculous. It can swing around by a single news story, weather at the polling date etc.
I wonder how many of those who want to rejoin would agree with adapting the Euro.
There’s no need to
Well, maybe the EU won't give them a choice if they want to join. Every new joiners adapts to the euro, why should the UK be special?
Because the pound is strong and there are other countries with their own currency.
It was never an obligation
"The pound is strong." Keep telling yourself that, mate. Reality disagrees with you, the pound knows only one direction vs USD and EUR, and that is down

Still strong tho and like I said it’s not an obligation to enter the EU
Every EU member but Denmark is obliged to adopt the Euro and the days of granting exceptions on accession are over.
On the contrary, the EU will make sure that the UK isn't going to pull a Sweden and deliberately fail the Euro criteria just to avoid adopting it on a technicality.
What might happen is introducing national backsides for Euro notes so you can have your King's mug on yours. We're not monsters after all.
While Denmark does have an exception from adopting the Euro, the DKK is pegged against it, and has been since 1999.
109.1j of the Maastricht Treaty.
Too bad. The EU doesn’t want them back!
just starts laughing
That's nice but why would we want them back?
Ask Guy Verhofstadt, he keeps saying we're welcome back any time.
I mean, because it would benefit both the EU and the UK in many ways. Not to say there aren't downsides to letting them rejoin, but there are also significant upsides that we really shouldn't ignore.
Yes, because in glorious EU land there is no inflation at all right now.
I don't think anyone claimed that.
uk is like a girl having mood swings while on her period.
A cat. You're on the internet, UK is a cat.
