@@nanakonadu- There no regret on leaving the EU. A decision that was well overdue. The only caveat is we didn't leave it completely, signing up to the TCA. On leaving there should've been no deals, just leave.
@jonphoenix I never heard of anyone here in the EU who wants the UK back. And also remember that it just needs one country's veto against an application from the UK and the thing is done. So definitely no, we do not want the UK back.
@Harry-tb8yo You're somewhat jumping the gun, the UK government is not asking for EU membership. Until it makes such a request (years away at least), there is nothing to veto. A recent poll by YouGov and Datapraxis for the European Council of Foreign Relations suggests that voters in the EU and UK are far more willing to forge closer ties than politicians/officials in Brussels and London are. So there is far more nuance to 'we do not want the UK back' than your comment implies.
"they've been filling their diaries with visits to Brussels" Which is not an indicator of them wanting to repair relations. The Uk so far has shown zero effort in wanting to actually repair relations. the new ukgov hasnt made a single step towards implementing the WA and TCA, have turned down offers of closer cooperation, even soured negotiations about program participations with "demands" and lower contribution requests, have not named a single person for the Uk contingent of the body supervising the TCA. Their filled diaries are for photo ops, free lunches, demands and divide and conquer tactics.
A bit simplistic. There are disputes with elements of the WA and TCA. The EU have also made 'demands', which is normal for the start of any negotiation. Come back in a year or so, things will probably look a lot warmer.
@jonphoenix nothing simplistic was said in my post. You on the other hand come up with "demands" for negotiations, where no negotiations are on the calender.
We (UK) have shown a clear intent to repair our relations with the EU. The UK and the EU have agreed to hold annual summits starting this year signalling a mutual desire to enhance cooperation. Starmer was invited to attend an EU leaders meeting back in February marking the first such participation by a UK leader since Brexit. This invitation reflected a thaw in UK-EU relations and a willingness to engage in strategic cooperation.
@@ab-ym3bf Your statement is very much simplistic because you have completely dismissed all UK government actions as purely for “photo ops” free lunches, demands and divide and conquer tactics. Yes okay there are valid criticisms about the UK’s post-Brexit approach but painting all efforts with such a broad brush completely overlook areas where progress has been made or where genuine efforts to engage actually exist. You’re statement does not account for more recent efforts by the UK to engage with the EU such as agreements to participate in Horizon Europe the planned annual summits starting in 2025 and discussions around economic and trade renegotiations. These steps indicate some level of intent to engage constructively which you’re statement ignores.
I'm an optimist, and am glad to see the new UK government make steps to improve relations with the EU. I'm sure it will take time, but any new agreements will benefit the UK and EU for the longer run.
We in the EU invest 1% of our GDP to have the power to make deals that are in our interest. We are not going to give up on that investment, because you in the UK enjoyed blaming us for all your problems. So, basically, after your idiotic government gave up its meager cards, all deals will only be if they are in our interest. You do not have the power to get us to make agreements that are not in our interest. Sorry, but this is just how international relations function. You can wait for your special relationswhip with the US and see how well it functions.
@@samhartford8677 All governments and organisations negotiate in their own interest, this is not exclusive to the EU. You seem to just have an axe to grind against the UK. Fortunately, cooler heads than you in the EU will negotiate a pragmatic way forward. There are still mutual interests with fishing, security/defence, youth exchange programme, and (probably in the longer term) economic/financial cooperation. Hope that closer cooperation doesn't disappoint you 👍
The EU made it clear that it is very satisfied with the TCA as it is right now. Therefore I don't know what kind of agreements you talk about that should benefit the EU and the EU, other than the current TCA.
@jonphoenix Security and defense agreements won't give the UK any kind of easier access to the single market. The UK government still rejects the EU's proposed youth mobility scheme so I don't know where you get the idea from that youth exchange programs are of mutual interest. Obviously they are not. Economic cooperation is covered by the TCA. Financial cooperation aka financial services have deliberatly been excluded from the TCA as it is not in the EU's interest to have these carried out in a third country.
@ I guess time will tell, but it's still the early stages of the so-called 'reset' and any negotiations that form part of this. UK-EU interests are not fixed and can change, and initial negotiation positions can soften. Let's wait and see what happens next.
I answered a question like this somewhere else. There is talk of a North American Union, it could include the UK and be called the North Atlantic Union :) Then expand the economy would be the name of the game.
An EU and UK association agreement would help massively. UK pays in get the trade, accepts free movement but can continue trading with others and does not have to implement all laws. It is the only way otherwise cozy up to Trump and become the 51st state. There are no other options.
Third countries cannot join the single market. Only EU and EFTA members can. UK is not a member of any of them and won't become that in the foreseeable future. So what you call an option is in reality no option.
@@paullarne Have you seen any economic data regarding your country recently? Please first take a look and argue later. Apparently Boris is still living in your head and telling you things that are not real.
@@paullarne Sure. Because we all know that EU consist only of Germany and France. I can asure you that there are few more countries with better economy results than UK.

Of course the UK can repair its relationship with the EU. All it has to do is fulfill its obligations under the WA, NIP and TCA and we're all pals together ain't we?😀😀
Britain needs to recooperate per year the loss of a 100B plus This will without question get Britain back on track, Britain needs to freely trade without borders,

Relations can be repaired. ‘Rejoining’ cannot. The British need to grow up and move on with whatever is left of the country.
The UK government is not asking to rejoin, which is just as well given some of the infantile comments scattered on these comments pages!
We did grow up and move on. We decided we didn't want to be in this organization.
