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?

    There are a lot of reasons, but I think it boils down to the people in charge do not want the embarrassement of crawling back to the EU.

    It would be total ego destruction and that is simply untennable. This is what happens when the right gets enough power to make a change and then has to experience consequences.

    Something something leopards and faces.

      Not only that but the EU doesn’t want to make it seem like people can come and go as they please. So they will make serious demands for rejoining.
