The EU should give the UK good terms: the same terms everyone else is on. Nothing more, nothing less.
The opt outs were bad for the UK and the EU and good riddance. If we rejoin we will actually have to commit fully instead of the default position being opting out of things because the right wing don’t like them.
Sadly I think it’s still 10 years away from even being a realistic possibility. Although Trumps behaviour is doing a good job of accelerating changes in attitude so maybe it will be sooner.
Before admitting any new members, the EU must fix its decision making process, though (get rid of unanimity), and implement a process for expelling members.
The UK has in the past abused its veto powers to force decisions disadvantageous for the entire EU on behalf of the US. Nobody needs that shit back.
