I think the UK should accept consequences and deal with it.
The EU (including the UK at one time) became the powerhouse because of its Union.

When some countries seems to think they can do better and leave they weaken that Union. Without consequences countries would be leaving and rejoining the EU when parlaments change. And as an Economic Union you just cannot accept those members. It makes you look weak globally

Do they really? Would they really accept a situation worse than what they previously had in the EU? Wouldn't that lead to an incredible resentment towards the EU?
I still thinks it's a great idea. I love visiting friends and family there. But please wait your turn before being considered a potential candidate

I think thats a great idea. Please submit you application for joining. And don't call us, we (the EU) will call you when we are done with

Albania
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Moldova
Montenegro
North Macedonia
Serbia
Türkiye
Ukraine

And the potential candidates
Georgia
Kosovo

And what is your stance on King Charles on your Euro coins. But we can always talk about someone else on the Euro currency.
As an EU-citizen I would love to skip the customsline and start working there without any interference
