True, but it's still better than what we have now.

I don't live in the UK, but my impression from the outside is that rejoining is a political minefield within the UK?

Like, you guys have the Farage party leading in polls right now. I don't think any move in the direction of rejoining is realistic with the possibility of his party ruling the UK in a few years.

The real benefit from Brexit was felt outside of the UK. Although it was a shame to lose such an important country, the results were so disastrous for the UK that any *exit became extremely unpopular in other EU countries. Even far right parties in other EU countries had to completely scrape or severely tone down any rhetoric to leave the EU. Nowadays their goals are more to weaken the EU from within (which is still bad, but better than having those absolute retards campaigning to leave).

Probably less of a minefield than it is perceived as, a huge chunk of the "leave"-voters are dead now.
