Re: Aimless Anglos

By accident or canny negotiation, we carried more weight in the EU than perhaps we should have done.

Often claimed, but in reality no one country carries much weight, except perhaps Germany. At best we were the moderating voice against the socialist bloc, and now that we aren't there I'd expect the more vocal conservative countries to start making trouble.

even if we were able to arrange to rejoin the EU soon, writing off Brexit as the disaster that it is

We haven't even completed Brexit yet, and it will take years to show the benefits. There will be many issues and problems in the meantime, I'm sure. I seriously cannot see the UK ever voting to rejoin, since we would clearly not have voted to join in the first place if John Major had given us a choice in 1992, and opinion has hardened since.
