I am a strong supporter of the EU, and won’t sign this. This country is too xenophobic, fractious, reactionary, and delusionally self-important to let them back into the union when it’s still reeling from the damage the UK caused just a few years ago.
If the UK is serious about rejoining, it will first have to stop treating EU membership like a glorified trade agreement and stepping stone to national power and influence. The EU needs community members and partners, not self-aggrandising parasites.

Good luck getting this past the Labour government. They are firmly rooted to remaining (excuse the pun) outside the EU. This is even before you attempt to get it past Conservative opposition or fringe party Reform nutters.
If the party in power isn’t going to champion this then it’s an instant no go.

Labour are dedicated to the democratic vote, which is arguably the “right” thing to do, but not necessarily the best thing to do.

…let alone the rest of the EU. They’d be crazy to accept a UK petition for membership right now.

Why’s do you think it would be crazy to accept the UK back in?
