      The hostility from the EU about the UK rejoining (especially from France) tells me that’s not likely to happen.

        Good. States shouldn’t be able to just go out on a whim and immediately go back in again like it’s a revolving door. The consequences should be severe for leaving. Otherwise voters in other member states will pull this shit as well, because they think they can just rejoin when the next pro EU government comes around. Also many voters in the UK voted for leave as a protest vote not because they actually wanted to leave. They didn’t understand the ramifications of their vote. Let the UK be the example of what a protest vote can cause.

          Surely the opposite should be true. It just shows that countries cannot leave the EU because it is far too damaging to their economy
