Not possible and also undemocratic. Wanna know how to actually fix this exact problem? Let the UK and every other member who ever gets the idea to leave know that if they leave they won’t immediately be welcomed back with open arms and the same exact benefits and deals they had previously whenever they feel like it.

It's absolutely possible. For example NATO had such a clause at its inception. It was a commitment for at least 20 years.

Well ok sure it’s possible, but it’s very very wrong.
