YouGov survey suggests majority support idea of Britain returning to bloc – but not on same terms it once enjoyed

A decade after MPs voted to hold the referendum that led to Britain leaving the European Union, a poll has found majorities in the bloc’s four largest member states would support the UK rejoining – but not on the same terms it had before.

The YouGov survey of six western European countries, including the UK, also confirms that a clear majority of British voters now back the country rejoining the bloc – but only if it can keep the opt-outs it previously enjoyed.

Asked whether Britain should be allowed back in on the same conditions it enjoyed when it left, including not having to adopt the euro currency and remaining outside the Schengen passport-free zone, the numbers changed significantly.

      Fuck off with this misinformation.

      If the EU was as conformist / homo-cultural as you suggest, the cultural identity of constituent states would have long since disappeared.

      Go tell someone in Florence or Sicily that, because they have been in EU since 1950, they are no longer Italian (or that they are somehow now culturally equivalent to a Dubliner). See how that works out for you.

      one has to reject the fact, because one cannot reject reality.

      Facts are based on reality, you cannot reject facts without rejecting reality. The stupidity of the above is mind blowing. 🤣🤣🤣
