@russmarkham2197 It's NOT "Uk bashing...and nobody is saying, that the UK can't get back in" It's rather simple facts, like = the UK doesn't even fulfill the needed criteria for APPLYING for EU membership at the moment = a national debt of max 55 %, the UKs national debt is at 101,2 % recently. The UK has to apply for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if NONE of the EU27 member states vetos the UK joining the EU, only then the UK/GB would receive the status as a "candidate for EU membership", and then the 35 chapters have to be fulfilled and implemented properly (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if not done properly, joining process stops instantly. Estimated time needed for joining the EU are minimum 15+ years AFTER fullfilling the Copenhagen Criteria, as stated by various EUs negotiators/spokesmen various times since years, they know due to experience of other countries joining process. It's mandatory for ALL NEW EU member states, to join the Schengen area and adapt the €/Euro, as soon as the new EU member state has a stabile enough economy. No exceptions, no cherry picking, no fast track, no opt outs for any country in the world, not even for Ukraine being at war, as stated by various EUs negotiators/spokesmen various times since years. The EUs joining criteria = article 49 TEU Copenhagen Criteria = all available at Wikipedia Greetings from the EU27 🖐

@fitzstv8506 Well, the EU27 would support one of its member states = the RoI, therefor "starving Ireland" could quickly turn into = closing borders at Calais etc 😂 They still seem to forget, that the UK is an Island... Greetings from the EU27 🖐

@russmarkham2197 As I'm posting facts about EU joining criteria only, I wouldn't know how that can be "insulting or a punishment for UK citizens"...infact ALL of those facts are available at the EUs Commission site or just Google = EUs joining criteria = and it pops up instantly... I find it quite sad, that after 47 years of EU membership and four years after Brexit happened = that there are still so many Brits, which are still coming up with these phantasies of "joining the EUs SM/EEA or CU or FOM"...while none of them ever bothered to look up about those available facts in the Inet = which everybody is using here... That is my intention = to enlighten the people about the EUs joining criteria = so at least they can "work" with facts and not getting "wrong hope" for an "easy solution"... I wish you all the best with greetings from the EU27 🖐 Edit typo/autocorrect

@nicholaspostlethwaite9554 Oh dear 🙄 The EU27 are a pragmatic, rule based organisation/union of independent and souvereign countries with their democratic elected Parliament (with PR) and its MEPs working on behalf of the democratic elected EU27 member states Gvts and their 450ish million citizens... The EU27 are a peace project based on solidarity and respect for all EUropean member states with its SM/EEA included to benefit its 450ish million citizens and its member states.. Btw, it's about € 2,33 per month/head of us 450ish million EU citizens to "compensate" the loss of the UKs EU membership fee, it's affordable and appreciated 😅 The UK never paid its full membership fee due to the "Brit bargain" since Thatcher, it were € 120 million only 😂 Thanks for Brexiting with greetings from the EU27 🖐 Edit typo/autocorrect

@Notalloldpeople "...implemented a form of Brexit that nobody voted for"... Yes, you did, because = leaving the EU27 means = OUT = the UK left the EU27 and is OUT, which AUTOMATICLY includes LEAVING the EUs SM/EEA and FOM, because it goes like that = EEA Agreement = SPECIFIES that membership is open to member states either of the EU and or EFTA member states ONLY, according to article 126. EEA = EUs SM NOT negotiatable !! "Soft Brexit = being a 3rd country while being within EUs SM as a freeloader always was a fairy tale dream of the Brexitters". As FOM is part of the EUs SM/EEA = it goes the same, according to article 126. As stated by various EUs negotiators/spokesmen various times "club member benefits are for club members only".

@gary5737 Exactly, oh dear... Now you're calling people, which are posting facts about EUs joining criteria (of which ALL OF THEM are available at the EUs Commission site) " bots" 🙄.. But coming up with "alternative facts/options/possibilities" you could avoid by simply reading up about the REAL EUs joining criteria = article 49 TEU Greetings from the EU27 🖐

 @andysalter7779 The EU27 are "protectionist" towards ALL those countries OUTSIDE the EU27...to = protect its member states and its 450 million citizens 😊

 @gary5737 Swiss is EFTA member state...

Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are EFTA members... Norway and Iceland are stating since years, that they would "veto the UK joining EFTA, because they don't want a trouble maker in their club", on top of that = ALL four EFTA members together have about 16 million people living there, the UK has about 67ish million on its own, that's another reason for the EFTA members, as it would be to "outbalanced". As stated by the EUs Commission = there are TWO options available only = full EU membership or EFTA membership. EFTA membership is not available as written before, therefor only option available = full EU membership.... EEA Agreement = SPECIFIES that membership is open to member states either of the EU and or EFTA member states ONLY, according to article 126. EEA = EUs SM NOT negotiatable !! The EU27 are a pragmatic, rule based organisation/union of independent and souvereign countries with their democratic elected Parliament (with PR) and its MEPs working on behalf of the democratic elected EU27 member states Gvts and their 450ish million citizens. The accession criteria for EU membership are well known, and are available at the EUs Commission site or = just Google = EUs joining criteria... It also would be very nice, when the UK would finally implement those deals/treaties, it signed with the EU27...before demanding opt outs again.. Btw, half of my family are British living in the UK...therefor no "anti British" sentimental, just simple facts about the EU27 and the joining process.. Oh, and it always needs two to tango...

@gary5737 Look, there is EFTA = about 16ish million citizens and the EU27 = 450ish million citizens EFTA member states WOULD VETO the UK EU27 membership would go like that = the UK has to apply for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if NONE of the EU27 member states vetos the UK joining the EU (one veto would be enough), only then the UK/GB would receive the status as a "candidate for EU membership", and then the 35 chapters have to be fulfilled and implemented properly (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if not done properly, joining process stops instantly. Estimated time needed for joining the EU are minimum 15+ years AFTER fullfilling the Copenhagen Criteria, as stated by various EUs negotiators/spokesmen various times since years, they know due to experience of other countries joining process.
