Well then, I guess the UK can deal with the Remoaners too
They really tried getting the British people into that romanticized koombaya Star Trek federation pseudo-socialist ideal "alliance"
What's stopping re-integration within this lifetime? or the next few years?
The fact that 'Remoaners' are almost as bad as people with TDS in the US has hardened cultural attitudes against the EU for the near future.
And the EU doesn't really have a long-term future. Some part of it might exist fifteen years from now, but I'd be surprised if the EU as a whole exists at that point.
Probably inertia from the government just not deciding to try; and it's probably dependent on the post brexit situation as well. If it does all go horrible then we might see a pushback to return to the EU, and if it goes well then we might not, Honestly I think that inertia favours us staying out, the post war conditions that spawned the EU have evaporated, we're not in any real danger of another pan European conflict ripping apart another generation of men; we generally get along pretty well with each other. Whether that will continue into the 2020's will be another thing.
On the contrary, I think that the pending financial collapse of the EU will result in the next round of European polarization. The various nations will be pissed with each other, and one way or another, it's going to get ugly.
