      Labour is so weird about Brexit and saying they have no intention of rejoining considering Labour were strong remainers and more Britons are in favor of rejoining now than ever

      The UK would have no say in the rules of the CU, and as we have seen with France’s attempt to place fishing rights in a potential security pact between the UK and EU, the UK could never trust it

    3. I understand free movement of goods. But why also about people?

      We just need to re join the EU in general, most of the country want to rejoin.

      The nationalists will be livid tho 😂

      Yes please! There are so many great models in the secondhand British market, but custom fees ruin my chances of getting them 🙁

    6. Just let Britain join a special customs union and wink wink know what I mean, just don’t talk about rejoining for a while.

      No.

      lets rejoin the E.U completely instead.

      I don’t care that the deal will be worse than the last deal we had when we were in the E.U.

      That’s a stupid comparison

      is it better than the situation we have now – yes

      so lets just admit it was a big F*cking mistake and rejoin as quickly as possible.

      we can still keep the pound like Sweden do by staying out of ERMII.

      so lets just join

      Joining a CU would mean UK would have to follow EU’s tariff rules without any say in it…Yeah that isn’t going to work

      Ok, let’s consider that.

      The UK is now a member of the CPTPP trade bloc, which currently has a GDP of 12 trillion and which has as potential new members, Costa Rica, China, Taiwan, Ecuador, Uruguay, Ukraine, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and the US. Even adding the likely ones to be approved (excluding China & the US) is liable to increase the GDP beyond the size of the EU. The share of the CPTPP world GDP in the next 50 years is almost certain to go up significantly.

      The EU has a market of 17 trillion, which has shrunk as a percentage of world GDP by half over the last 50 years and is likely to continue to shrink over the next 50 years. The EU does have negotiations open with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine and Turkey which might add another few percent to the GDP total, but this is more about reducing the rate of relative decline.

      I’m not entirely certain that quitting the CPTPP and re-joining the EU customs union and cutting us off from these countries would really be in our best interests; although I can see why Germany likes the idea; their share of sales in the UK market is steadily being replaced by CPTPP members and that’s got to sting.

      I wonder if that was his personal opinion of if he discussed that with Scholz/Merz. Either way…not going to happen anytime soon, even though everyone knows that it was a mistake to leave.

      All decisions can be reverted. It just takes strong people to do so.

    12. Awkward_Swimming3326 on

      Are Germany allowed to do deals away from the EU? I thought individual states couldn’t do this.

      Brexiteers are still probably the plurality amongst the UK’s electorate, despite the fact that polling is consistently in favour of rejoining, it’d still be electoral suicide due to the FPTP system of voting.

      The remain/rejoin camp is far more divided amongst numerous political parties and issues than the Brexit camp is. They’re largely single-issue voters and coalesce around 1 *maybe* 2 parties.

      That’s the story that the polling doesn’t tell. Any move like this right now would still light a fire so magnificent under such a large portion of the electorates’ backsides that it would spell the eventual end of the government of whichever political party initiated it.

      We’re still probably 10+ years away from that not being the case. I wish it weren’t so, but barring some paradigm shifting geopolitical disaster, this stuff is 100% off the cards for now.

      This would be nice because I basically can order anything from Britain now because EU customs is such a PITA. We don’t need full membership for
      Britain just to be able to send mail back and forth

    15. DarrensDodgyDenim on

      Joining the Customs Union would be taking back control. Get it done.

    16. ankthioz on

      It’s time for the UK and Ireland to join Schengen as well.

    17. How is this possible? Those redditors we get here who claim they speak for the entirety of the EU say the EU doesn’t want anything to do with the UK.

    18. 1mrjimmymac on

      We should never have left and this absolute disaster falls to Boris and his idiot cronies who told lies, damned lies!!!! Good on the Germans to call this. A new U.K. referendum required.

    19. Old-Buffalo-5151 on

      I don’t know a single rational Brit in my personal life who doesn’t want to desperately rejoin the whole people who seem have an issue are far right nut jobs (and even then iv actually met a few recently who outright said French and German pole immigrants are fine they just didn’t want “sand people”

      So even the fight right here is coming around to it

      They person who doesn’t seem to want too is starmer and the media

      America pushed Britain to leave Eu, they wanted the fall of the Eu
