Why doesn't the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union?

BOMBS@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 212 points –

Admittedly, I don't know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn't the UK just rejoin the EU?

if we held the referendum again - no new voters, everyone votes exactly the same as they did before - remain would win simply because enough elderly leave voters have died since then that now it would swing the other way, so its likely is sentiment is not trending positive

Regions of Wales with a large English retiree population voted out.
