I don't expect things will go wrong, but if they did once we have broke away from the EU, could we, the UK re-join

is this a possibility?

Yes and we will.

More likely is we decide to revoke Article 50.

"I don't expect things will go wrong, "

Are you kidding me? If this was in the hands of our finest minds, with a well thought out stategy already carefully worked out after a couple of years detailed planning, it would still be a tall order, but maybe we could get something not too much worse or different to where we are now overall and better in some aspects.

But with this bunch of incompetent loons who are big on rhetoric, short on competence, dilligence, facts and hard work trying to wing it in less than two years we have fucking no chance!

Whether we voted remain or leave, we need to put that to one side now as we have been told by May that we (the UK) are headed in one direction only and that we will leave the EU

so what I meant with my initial post was that say 3 or 4 years down the line, we all find we made a drastic mistake,

okay some already believe that, but if we all agree and find we have made this mistake, can we as the UK re-apply to join the EU again

perhaps also eat humble pie, but can we re-apply or is this a one way ticket out

We could certainly apply, but I don't think we would get to keep our rebate! We would probably have to eat humble pie, there might be a number of limitations put on our veto etc.

There would be nothing stopping the UK from rejoining. The EUs preferred outcome is obviously that the UK changes its mind but apart from that it would prefer the UK rejoin because either of those 2 options would kill the movement of the alt right to disband the EU.

Which political party would lead us back in ?.At present we are looking at many years of tory rule maybe a decade and without coherent opposition at present . Do think the tories will eat humble pie.No they will keep flogging the brexit horse til it dies.Let's hope it goes well because you'll be lucky to find a politician who admits they were wrong while in power.

Maybe but then maybe its more about the lesson you learn than the money you make, maybe its about both.

Do you think the person who went into business and never went bankrupt learnt as much as the person who went bankrupt twice before making it succeed? Maybe they made more after some failure than without it, it seems only failure drives change in this world at times

unless of course Scotland gains Independence and manages to join the EU before the "rest of the UK" decides how wrong they were!!!

Just imagine Scotland putting a block on "the rest of the UK" from re-joining in years to come

but of course Scotland would not do that, not even after what Mrs May said to the Scottish MP's today in Parliament,

or would they

And, of course, they would not have to source additional income from other EU members to make up for the net contribution we make. Which, btw, is reducing in Euro terms because of the decrease in the value of the pound.

If Scotland gets Independence, it may well go with the Euro, and if that is the case and the "rest of the UK" are out of EU, then it might be the end of the ££££££ for them as well, it sure as hell aint going to be recognised as a main currency

Weren't major banks going to pull out of Scotland if they voted for independence?

And why would banks want to leave a major financial city like London to move up to Edinburgh?

once you are out of the EU and Scotland re-joins lets just wait and see, there are so many options, so many what ifs, it would be foolish to say things could never happen, Westminster will be at the hands of the EU as it tries to worm its way out, so do not for one minute think things will be all rosie and sweet

It crops up with religious monotony doesn't it. Different people, different threads, different topics but the same underlying message.

No one is equal to the Brits (actually English) and nothing can be better than Britain (read England). The EU will collapse without us, Scotland won't cope alone etc etc

This message has been played out for a hundred years or more as the empire fell apart. The story is that the empire was held together by an absolute (but misplaced) belief that the native societies would implode without British authority.

Same narrative now about the EU and Scotland - like as if England is the all and almighty that rules its minions with steel like authority without which anarchy would reign.

Total horseshit.

"Sorry ment the EU crumbling not the euro how they going to cope without the UK ?

You mean without the second largest net contributor to the EU?"
The EU will also be deeply concerned about losing one of its largest net contributors . Not many companies would want to lose a key customer.

They are going to lose about £6.5bn a year, spread across about 435 million people. If you take the figure from David Davis' special adviser, the UK is going to lose £26bn a year spread across a population of 65 million people. Who do you think is going to notice the change more?

Look how can you gauge if Brexit goes wrong ??

Obviously its going to have its ups and downs, winners and losers.

Remember its taken 40-30 yrs ( I think). To get till now where UK thinking its not quite working its not unrealistic to think same on Brexit.

Thinking short term is defeatist , think where we wish to be in xx yrs .

Bit like travelling through dark twisty tunnel,with enclines .........hopefully were going to be better of on the other side.

A calculated risk.

But everyone who did calculations said that the risk was far far too high and that the payoff wouldnt benefit the UK in the medium or long term.

No one knows what the future holds we can only give our best guess.
