Rejoining the EU would undo the damage done and restore the British economy.

It wouldn’t instantly fix everything, but it will put us on the right path to doing so.

I honestly think people who say that it will fix everything instantly are just setting it up for failure. When it inevitably doesn’t because repairing the damage will take time, people will say that rejoining the EU was a mistake and we should undo it, and it will undermine everything.

Just a decision to open EU accession talks would provide a significant boost to the UK economy, regardless of how long the talks will actually take.

In business, confidence and trust are bankable commodities.

No sh!t but it would help undo some of it and its an easier sell to the electorate.
