    It wouldn’t be the exact same deal, because the world isn’t exactly the same as it was, but yes, I’d fully expect the UK to retain certain voting rights, to keep the pound, etc.

    Treating the UK poorly would send a message to Eurosceptics that leaving is the point of no return. It would also mean there is one fewer nation to calm any sceptical nations to the power of a combined bloc.

      “The UK had special entering rights; we want them as well.”

      Probably all other nations wanting to join.

      And a huge drawback of relations of trust between already in place members.

      No. The EU bent the knee to Tatcher in order to grow in relevance and stability internationally. A rejoining UK needs to recognize it is joining an established and relevant bloc, not an upstart project.
