Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?

    If the Brexit train wreck proved anything, it’s that the EU isn’t as impressed with the UK as the UK thinks they are. Almost all attempts to strike a good deal were rejected, and the UK got rushed into a hard Brexit after years of nothing.

    Remember, the EU isn’t just about money and trade. It’s also about unifying the European people. Some countries are in it just for the money, but they’ll at least keep up the pretenses that they want to work for a united Europe. The UK made their opinion about these ideals quite clear while politicians tried to out-nationalism each other during Brexit, and I don’t think other countries will just forget about it.

    I doubt EU politicians will let the UK get away with all of their exceptions and privileges a second time.
