Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?
As much as Brexit was a stupid idea that’s hurt all parties involved, I find it hard to believe that the EU would deny any and all membership benefits for the UK purely out of spite. UK with pounds is still better for the EU than no UK at all.
It would almost certainly be a less favourable deal than before, but I’m sure the UK could negotiate some privileges for itself.
It is not out of spite. More like a “Fool me once” situation. Brexit has cost the EU a lot - not as bad as it is for the UK, but still. If the UK ever rejoins, they would have to make sure that such a shit show never ever happens again. If only to sell it to the EU members who all have to be convinced that the UK will be a good boy from that point on.
