Every EU member state can leave the EU27 on its own free will, but it's up to the EU27 only, to decide, which country can join the EU and when. The UK doesn't even fulfill the needed criteria for APPLYING for EU membership at the moment. Joining the EU goes like that ONLY = 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, which could take decades. Estimated time needed for joining the EU are minimum 15+ years AFTER fullfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST. Right now there are various EUs member states, which wouldn't even take UKs application form..

@skycloud4802 🙄 UK got the most money (Marshall plan) of all countries, which received money, Germany the least (of course), UK used its money to fund the NHS, Germany used its money to rebuild its industry and infrastructure... Thatcher destroyed UKs industry...

"The EU27" ARE the EU member states !! The EUs COUNCIL = the EUs member states GVTS and the democratic elected MEPs are the rule/law/decision makers in the EU !!

@arv-Hackney-London 😂 "The EU wants UKs money" Are you talking about those € 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, instead it paid about one third of it only... Or are you talking about = UK lost £ 100 billion due to Brexit in 2022 UK lost £ 140 million due to Brexit in 2023 | Bloomberg and Financial Times Since January this year the "passporting" went back into the EU27, June 2025 the "Euroclearing" will be back in the EU27, then Brexit is complete, as the transition period of FOM for capital ends June 2025. That will be a huge loss for the City of London, as those financial services are making up about one third of worlds market for clearing services = a value of £ 260 trillion per year 😂 Right now the EUs Commission started an infringement procedure against the UK, as it still hasn't implemented properly any of the deals, it signed with the EU27. Starmer got informed about that subject, when visiting the EU27. Thanks for Brexiting with greetings from the EU27 👋

@arv-Hackney-London NATO and EU27 are two different organisations, one is a defense alliance only, the other one is a ever evolving and developing 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. Most EU27 and EFTA member states are NATO member states as well. USA and Germany are both paying 17 % of the NATO communities fee, UK is paying 11 % of the NATO communities fee, in 2014 all NATO member states agreed on to pay 2 % of GDP/member state for NATO military equipment fee from 2024 on, which is the case. You shouldn't listen to Orange man too much .. Well, using China or India as a comparison to EU27, you seem to forget one thing = those mentioned countries were starting from a pretty low point of life standards, still millions of their citizens don't have electrics, clean water supply, no proper or at all school education etc...of course they have a higher % of growth, as they start from much lower level... And isn't it nice for those countries and their people, that they finally also make some effort to have a more humane life?!! About "the German election" = it was a election at 2 of the 16 German federal states, Thuringia has 2,12 million people living there, Germany 84ish million... And no, no other countries wish to leave the EU27 anymore...since Brexit happened even the right wing silenced about that subject 😂 Edit typo/autocorrect
