More than 60% of Brits want to re-join the EU with nearly the same number saying Britain was wrong to leave in the first place, a new poll shows.

    i think you’re mostly right. our country did not commit properly to the EU project. we were constantly looking for opt-outs and excuses.

    in the UK’s defense for not joining at the start, we were vetoed twice by Charles De Gaulle. i wonder what the timeline would have looked like, had this not happened. 🙁

    i dont think the UK should be let back in to the EU any time soon, but would you consider a longer term, distant future where the UK, or more likely it’s component countries, are admitted back into the EU? certainly on terms that require full integration, with absolutely no opt-outs? what is your take on that?

    i ask because i’m looking to escape to the EU myself at some point, but it would be disheartening to see if people there don’t like us solely because of our government being stupid enough to hold a referendum for a political gamble.
