Only among the 55+ you'll find more support for staying out

A request to rejoin the EU should only be granted if more than 75% of UK voters agree to it, or as soon as there's another single digit mood change, they'd leave again.

[–] SillyBanana@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I honestly think this should be the standard for all binding referendums with answers "keep it as it is" / "change it". Maybe not 75% but at least 55%. Implementing a change at 50% is so ridiculous. It can swing around by a single news story, weather at the polling date etc.

I wonder how many of those who want to rejoin would agree with adapting the Euro.

Who could've thunk.

Too bad. The EU doesn’t want them back!

That's nice but why would we want them back?

[–] HorriblePerson@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago

I mean, because it would benefit both the EU and the UK in many ways. Not to say there aren't downsides to letting them rejoin, but there are also significant upsides that we really shouldn't ignore.
