      When the UK was a member of the European Union, it was a huge net contributor to the EU budget. The UK paid far more into the EU than it received back in funding.
      For example, in 2018, the UK’s gross contribution to the EU was about £20 billion (after accounting for the rebate, the actual payment was around £15.5 billion).
      This cannot be ignored. The UK was a huge loss to the EU.

      Exactly, the EU will decide if the UK can rejoin the block, it's not a decision that's solely up to the UK to decide. Some member states like Ireland would first have to have a referendum in order to approve any such move. I know some other countries too would have to hold a referendum.

    RESET explained
    ------------------------------
    1.
    After the UK leaves the EU, UK is a third country. All the advantages of membership are gone for the time being. In return, the UK save the membership fee (that's between £8bn and £12bn net per year - higher figures from the Brexit campaign were a lie)
    The same applies to the EU. It too had advantages through UK membership. These have also disappeared. And she no longer receives a membership fee from the UK.
    2.
    The UK and the EU have negotiated a follow-up agreement following the UK's withdrawal. This is the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). The purpose is to reinstall some of the lost benefits.
    3.
    The EU has regulated some areas on an EU-wide basis. Exclusively for the 27 EU member states, there are numerous advantages in these areas.
    4.
    The EU has negotiated a treaty with a number of third countries, which also gives them some of the benefits that are otherwise only available to club members. These are Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. They receive some of the club benefits. In return, they pay a contribution to the EU every year. In order to get the deal, they have committed to implementing all EU regulations in their country. They have no say in this. They have to do what the EU specifies in the areas affected by the treaty.
    5.
    The UK has refused to conclude a treaty with the EU as described in point 4.
    In the meantime, the EU has declared that it will generally no longer conclude "special" agreements with third countries other than those described in point 4. The back door for joining the single market and the customs union SEPERATLY has been closed.

    6.
    The UK and the EU have concluded another treaty, the TCA (point 2). It is a small part of what the EU member states and the partner states have agreed in point 4.
    7.
    After 3 years, the UK has realised that there are many problems in the UK that arose after Brexit. In addition, the Covid19 pandemic and the costs of the war in Ukraine are having an impact.
    8.
    This is where the "reset" mentioned by Starmer comes in.
    Many areas are not regulated EU-wide. For these areas, each member state can negotiate a bilateral agreement with the UK.
    The aforementioned agreement with Germany, which is due to be concluded in a few months' time, is one such bilateral agreement.
    9.
    Starmer is playing a trick here.
    His wording is so clever that many Britons read it to mean that it will bring them back the old EU advantages or drastically reduce the disadvantages of Brexit.
    10.
    This is not the case.
    It brings back neither the single market nor the customs union.
    11.
    To illustrate this with a figure:
    If the losses due to the end of EU membership are set at 100%, the possible new "reset agreements" with individual EU states will only bring back a TOTAL of 5%, maybe less.
    12.
    This means that even after the "reset" with individual EU states, the UK will still have to bear 95% of the Brexit losses resulting from the withdrawal.
    13.
    Starmer makes you Brits believe that it's not about a 5% improvement with the EU but about 50%, 60% or even more. And all this without having to pay the club fee.
    14.
    So Starmer is lying here just like the Tories have been lying since 2016.

    In the first place Starmer is still scared shitless of the Brexiteers, even though Brexit is increasingly out of favour with the electorate as a whole, and is likely to become more so.
    But secondly he probably suspects, and probably rightly, that the EU would not listen to any application to rejoin whilst there was any chance of the Conservatives regaining power, and immediately abandoning any negotiations to rejoin, or worse still, immediately embarking upon Brexit 2 if the UK had already rejoined. Therefore, one of three things will have to happen before the UK could apply to rejoin:
    1.) There would have to be a system of proportional representation in the UK, so that no one party could embark upon a project such as Brexit, without cross party support, or
    2.) The years passed, and even a new generation of Conservative Party leaders was forced into an admission that Brexit had been a disaster, or
    3.) The Conservative Party falls so far out of step with the aspiration of a new generation of voters, that an extinction event awaits it.
    Before the last election, only 7% of under 35s were planning to vote Conservative, so the third possibility can by no means be ruled out.

      @@citynomad13 There are multiple reasons why the UK can't join, sign up to, be a member, of the EEA. Among these are the need for unanimous approval of all signatories, which is thought to be almost impossible to achieve, leaving aside that several countries could have difficult choices for the UK to make if it wants their consent. We know the English don't like making difficult choices, as was shown in their strenuous efforts to dump some of the negative consequences of Brexit onto Ireland, a humiliating failure that still festers with many of them.
      EFTA signatories of the EEA are reluctant to reopen it, which would be necessary to admit a new signatory, as everything would be up for renegotiation. They are afraid they may end up with a worse deal than the one they have.
      There are other reasons, which you can find on the internet.

    Macron invited Pavel Durov to lunch with frogs. But a toad started strangling him. That's why Macron sent him to the New Bastille.
