Personally as a Brit, I don't think the EU should take us back with everything thats gone on the last few years, the UK have never really been committed to the EU project and only went in for selfish reasons as we was the sick man of Europe at the time.
I think the EU should let us stay in the single market and custom union and judge us on how we behave over the next decade because if the EU lets us stay but we have the same issues we have in the UK for the last few decades, I suspect many in the EU and it's members will be glad to see the back of us, in other words, if the UK stays in the EU, the UK will have to change, now don't get me wrong, I know the EU needs to change but thats another issue, in other words, the UK needs to decide if we are fully in the EU or not because we never really have been.

@uweinhamburg Sometimes you have to be brutal as the UK seems to feel like we are entitled to take take take without giving much back and always seem to want all the best bits of EU membership without any of the negatives and even after these two years of talks, the UK goverments seems to think we are entitled, it's just pure arrogaces from the UK side and yeah, I think the gloves should come off and the EU should cut us loose, we'll learn as a country a lot sooner that way whiles also doing a lot of damage to the euroseptic movment in the UK.
Anyway, like I said before, I don't think the UK should stay in the EU until it knows what it wants and the best option is for us to stay in the single market and custom union, that solves most of the economic problems, it solves the Northern Ireland boarder and it also solves our trade deals around the world, for the most part, not much would change apart from the UK wont have a say in making EU rules even thought we would have to abide them.
After a decade or so of that and lots of soul searching, maybe we might be ready to rejoin the EU and be more of a construtive member and not a member thats always objecting to everything other EU members are trying to do.

@uweinhamburg The irony is that I'm not bitter, I think I might of been before the Brexit vote because no one really defended the EU in the UK, the debate was always one sided for decades with the right wing media slinging mud at the EU and the goverment more or less doing the same without really anyone defending the EU and correcting the lies.
Now thanks to Brexit, I'm very excited because now the euroseptics can't just talk, they have to deliver and we already know they can't deliver, thats the real exciting part because Brexit is likely going to do a lot of damage to the euroseptic movment in the UK, but it's a shame that it's going to hurt the country to find that out.
I've always been in two minds on Brexit since the vote happened, part of me is saying, we should have the hardest of Brexit just to prove a point in how wrong the Brexiteers got it, but another part of me is saying to fight this because a lot of innocent Brits are going to get hurt over Brexit, it's a double edge sword.
Personally, I think the right thing to do is to fight them on this and not just because I think Brexit is wrong but more importantlly, if they win this, the likes of the ERG in the Tory party will use that power on things that have nothing to do with Brexit once Brexit is done and dusted.
Brexit has opened up a can of worms that might be hard to put back and all the signs look negative for the country so far and all in all, I think the only real solution is another vote and see what the public thinks now that we have a lot more information on Brexit, problem with that if the public votes to remain, the Brexiteers will be ranting and raving for the next 20 years on this but I think I can live with that :)
