The eu won’t allow another Norway or Swiss model. It’s created too many headaches. Of the uk rejoins, they will commit to the euro and lose their CAP rebate, just like any other new entrant. It’ll probably only take 10 years before accession talks.

The price the UK will have to pay. What can I say, play stupid games win stupid prizes.

But even that price would be more beneficial than the present state of affairs.

Lol. Right now British passports are waiting in the "everyone else" line at various immigration checkpoints around Europe. Citizens of fucking Bulgaria get to go through the express entry, which is basically just scanning your passport like you're entering the subway.

Bulgaria has a better passport than you Britain, and you're waiting behind some fat Americans saying they can't wait to "see the home of French fries", in Paris...
