How Easy for GB to Rejoin

[WTFH]

We may hold all the cards but currently the table looks like this:

Are you suggesting that Johnson is sitting on his own, playing with himself?

Blow (on the dice) for luck?

Do you think they have contingency plan in place for the eventuality that Great Britain rejoins EU and they just need to hit the switch? Or does it mean reversing everthing done over last 2 years in a similar timescale?

I think it's probably been considered especially while there was a chance a GE might lead to a Remain government. But now that's passed the 'what and how' wouldn't be detailed until any sort of overtures to rejoin were being muttered. Those involved in Brexit at a high level will likely have retired by the time this might happen but nations have long memories. Our previous 'special deal' is unlikely to be possible, we'd be a full member or not at all.

It'll be interesting to see if reJoin does gather any momentum in the next decade or if people have largely accepted that Brexit Is Done and will just get on with trying to make the best of it.

At least one of the Prime Ministerial candidates don't seem to think 'Brexit got Done' as she had promised to 'get brexit re-done'. Maybe she just reckoned the TWS was a winner for BoJo and she couldn't think up one of her own though.

We need to get NI done.

We need to get NI done.

Which requires listening, understanding, effort and discussion. The grandstanding of the UK government may be seen as "powerful", but it has the opposite effect when it comes to getting results in Ireland.

Yeah National Insurance needs an overhaul

Risky Somewhat has promised to get rid of EU red tape in 100 days if he becomes PM. Uh! WFT!

Nah enough of this softly softly touchy feely devolvement "your views are important" guff. Give these provincials an inch and they take a mile, getting ideas they can control their country. Time to get tough. A firm hand will calm it all down
