I'm sure they would be allowed back in, why not? But I doubt they'd get all their special treatements back.

Any of the EU nations I believe have veto authority on adding new members. And there's a lot of hate for the UK.

Really? Here in Germany I only ever heard that its stupid the UK left, but that's basically it. Didn't notice any hate.

From the outside (the US in my case) it looks like there's a lot of hate, but maybe it's just some well deserved schadenfreude. Everyone loves to laugh at Brexit voters.

I wouldn't call it hate by any means. We more feel sorry for them. Even though over 50% did it to themselves.

65.24% of the eligible voters to be exact, if you add the eligible voters who did not vote in the referendum to the leave voters [1].

It's more like we're having fun on them for being dumb ass bitches, but we still don't want bad to happen to them.

Imagine your dumbass cousin you grew up with, who constantly does stupid shit like fucks a toaster

That is oddly specific.

Weren't the French pretty salty about the UK? I recall seeing some articles on punishing the UK for leaving

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Maybe, but why would you punish someone thats hitting themselves?
