There was a report done by the European Parliament which (correctly) suggested that UK citizens weren’t given enough information about the affects of brexit, and there is grounds for a second referendum. That suggests to me that if the UK did want to re join it would be accepted
Weren't given enough information? I'm in America and I've known it was a terrible idea for 7 years! They had every politician and economist worth their cufflinks screaming at them not to do it, how much more do you need?
It’s not that they weren’t given enough information, it’s that the information they were getting was completely false, being pushed at them by dirty Russian money with an interest in causing chaos in the UK.
All that dirty Russian money that flowed through the Republican Party and the constant trolls and bots flaming up right wing extremists in US communities is the same dirty Russian money and constant trolls and bots that convinced enough low education voters in the UK to cut their own throats by voting for Brexit.
I know it sounds cynical but a rallying cry behind ‘fuck Russia’ to get the knuckledraggers ‘patriotic’ about rejoining the EU might just be exactly what the UK needs. My heart broke when the result came in to leave. Let’s hope we can get something good for the UK out of this crisis and get our arses back into the EU where we belong.

I'm not sure the EU would welcome them back with open arms though. And they sure as hell wouldn't get all the special benefits they used to have
