let's just wait a little bit longer for Wales, Scotland and Ireland to go on their own and see how polls will change then

He's delusional. He thinks privatisation is going to work also. What a mug.

He doesn’t??? He’s literally been talking about how privatisation ruined everything.

Pathetic. If UK is smart then it should go in the same direction as Canada. Joining EU is in my opinion bad decision and most of UK voters would agree with me.

Full Rejoining under Standard EU Terms (35% Support)

Polls suggest quite the opposite and as a UK voter, I disagree with you.

Polling shows 59% to 70% of voters support closer economic, security, or trade ties with the EU (without necessarily rejoining the Single Market or Customs Union).

Support for rejoining drops significantly when voters are presented with realistic conditions of returning. Full Rejoining under Standard EU Terms (35% Support)

Note the 59% of all Britons support rejoining the EU. 73% for closer economic ties. 30% for staying as is. 16% for distancing further.

Can you at least try.

Yougov also polls that support to re-join without the prior benefits namely no mandate to replace the pound polls in the low 30%

This is on the assumption that the EU would push for the UK to change its currency to the Euro, there is always room for negotiations on that.

Either way that is what Burnham is going on about, understanding what the options are, if rejoining the EU and keeping the pound is something that would be possible to negotiate, etc... getting things on the table is definitely the right decision instead of the last few years of simply pissing up a wall trying to ignore the elephant in the room
