And the EU should not give them good terms. Time for them to use the Euro. The pound is dead.
They get the same terms as everyone else.
Not necessarily. Things will be negotiated. We’ll see how desperate they are.
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.
100% agree. I’m Scottish and have been more than a little angry that the “United” Kingdom did this stupid fucking shit to (all of) us here.
There’s the Copenhagen Criteria for new members which requires a commitment to sign up to the Euro.
There is no real way for the EU to enforce Euro adaption. It‘s mandatory. I think Denmark is the only official exception for some reason. But you can‘t force Poland, Austria or Sweden to adopt the Euro even when they vowed to adopt it.
I think after the eurocrisis nobody is in a rush to force anyone to adopt the euro until they think they are ready.
Anyone with half a working brain would agree.
We don’t need another Hungary, or a King
We already have kings. A few more likely won’t make a difference
