By leaving they gave up all their special exceptions, and rejoining would mean that they have a worse deal than the one they had when they got fed up and left the EU. It’s like they’ve been looking at Trump’s Iran strategy.
Having a worse deal because they messed up and left fornthe wrong reasons is still better than no deal.
They have to gife up the pound and they lay the same as everyone else instead of having a rebate due to less agricture. As their borders are finding out, subsidising food security is not a bad thing.
They had a favourable deal before as an enticement to join as the benefits were less clear for a smaller organisation. The benefots sre now very clear indeed, so they should take the regukar deal and learn the lesson of populism ans election interference. I doubt they will do both.
Where is the notion coming from that a country has to change their currency to EUR to join the EU? Of the last 3 members to join, 2 adapted the EUR (Croatia and Bulgaria) but Romania kept their own. So it is not a requisite as far as I am aware.
The EU would restore all the advantages that Britain had. They might call it something else, but the advantages of having the UK back in would be too great to ignore.
And I say this as someone tha regularly rolls my eyes at the inflated sense of self-worth the UK constantly displays. The UK has become the south-Italy of the north; poor infrastructure, poor governance, poor outlying areas.

They’ve been swindled by the same organized misinformation machine
