@SuneAuken i used to agree, and am in favour of the EU, however i think England is too far gone, its politics is too far right wing, and it needs time to sort itself out.
However Scotland and Wales should join asap
I can't cover everything in one post, but I do agree that the EU needs stable partners and that there's some way to go with English politics right now. I don't know Wales well enough to say anything competent, but Scotland does seem an obvious partner.

A brief sigh.
I sometimes still hear UK-rejoiners, with whom I otherwise heartily agree, repeat the phrase that the UK should be in the EU to lead it.
Please, please, please.
We don't need Britain to lead us. Nobody wants to be under Rule Britannia. It's not a good place to be.
We would love to have the UK as a partner on equal footing. Someone to cooperate with. A friend and ally; not a master.
@SuneAuken I'm English
I don't want Britain to lead me let alone anyone else

@SuneAuken Britain doesn't do "equal" very well unfortunately

I think that's fundamentally true and a large part of the underlying cause of Brexit in the first place.
It's also why there's a fairly long way back. The EU cannot work if the members aren't fundamentally equal.
However, it's also worth noting that almost all steps on the way back are worth taking in their own right.

@SuneAuken You're preaching to the choir
The number of people I screamed at who just wanted to give Cameron a bloody nose saying "It's only advisory, they'll never do it"

Us cheerleaders are, by nature, preaching to the choir.
Oh I can SO feel the frustration of those screams.

@SuneAuken It was obvious that the Elite wanted us out of the EU or they would have found an excuse not to have the referendum
Rule 1 in politics is "Unless you have no option, you don't ask the people a question unless you know what the answer will be"
They just wanted an excuse & the "Bloody Nose Brigade" gave it to them

Speaking just for me, I'd love to have you.
