I think the EU would need some sort of 'Brenter' poll first, to see if the spoilt brat of the family would be welcomed back, what with all our needy requirements about keeping our own currency etc. I can't see it personally for a long time as there's still that resistance to change things that are viewed as 'ours' and changing them to something viewed as 'theirs'. We never really fully committed to it the first time. Hopefully we'll see the need to join the 'middle powers' in some kind of alliance though.

I'd say, make it unambiguously clear that joining the EU means joining the Euro and joining the Schengen area. Then require at least 67,7 % "Yes" in a poll.

I would prefer UK not joining us without these requirements fulfilled. And yes, other's may join with just 50 % "yes", but they don't have a history of quitting the EU.

I think most would be okay if they didn't get preferred treatment. Gotta adopt the Euro. No Schengen opt out. Etc. Years long process just like everyone.

We all know it wouldn't happen anyhow.
