Bregret is a Britch
I've been patiently waiting for all these Brexit benefits we were promised. But they haven't been forthcoming. In fact, it's just been a shambles from day one. We've just given ourselves more problems to (not) deal with.
The main Brexit benefit appears to be the disintegration of the conservative party. Pretty good benefit really.
That's how politics work. Conservatives do a few awful things then it swings over to the liberal side... then the liberals go a bit too fast and it swings back.
I just can't believe the US wasted it's political clout on fucking Biden. Another Obama would have been killer, but instead we have the guy nobody really wants and is only chosen because his opponent is hitler 2.0
Partygate triggered that. it had nothing to do with Brexit
Hey that's exactly how it is with American conservatives. Just constantly causing more issues without solving anything whatsoever.

Even if that's true (and it probably is, because it was a pretty thin majority to exit in the first place) it would be absolute political suicide to go into this election on the promise of getting us back in.
The anti EU brigade are lunatics and people who voted leave are easily lead. The last thing we need is "Look, they're ignoring your will!" followed by Emperor Farage...
It's a completely moot point for another reason. The EU isn't just going to let them back in with the same sweetheart deal they got as founding members. That alone means this won't happen for decades if at all .

I assume the UK would be obligated to adopt the Euro as a currency, and i have no doubt some people would absolutely rage stroke.
Sounds fun, if unviable.

How I imagine that would go:
I'm pretty anti-brexit, but I'm not sure whether I'm pro-rejoining. Taking the clusterfuck we've landed in and turning it in to somehow an even bigger clusterfuck may not necessarily yield good results and definitely won't be some silver bullet. The massive middle finger we'd justifiably get from the EU should probably give us pause.
This. It's not just a switch to be flipped.
What's done is done. From day 1 after the referendum it was obvious to everyone that the UK would spend the next 50 years trying to mitigate the impact of that ridiculous decision. Hotting the "rejoin" button is not necessarily a short cut to the end.
somehow an even bigger clusterfuck
I agree that rejoining won't magically solve all problems but I don't see how it would make things worse.
