You are perhaps unaware that since last week, Britain has required EU citizens to go through an e-visa process.
The offer from the EU for a youth exchange program was rejected by the UK.
The fish thing looks like anti-EU nonsense. The anonymous source "hinted", whereas the people speaking on the record denied it.
Starmer ruled out joining the customs union, so blame him for the tool import paperwork.
> but the thing is that only a minority voted for Brexit,
So with such a failure of democracy, it's no wonder that the EU would require changes to the voting system (for example) before Britain can rejoin.
The EU doesn't want a half-in half-out Britain. It had that for decades.
- matt-p 2y agoI am aware. Of course, if you require a visa from us then it becomes politically impossible NOT to require a visa from you in return. We were very clear that we didn't want it at all. Re the fish; >But in an interview with POLITICO, the minister said EU member governments were unlikely to sign off on a security deal with the U.K. unless negotiations are also resolved on other “sensitive” issues, including access to British waters for European fishing fleets. A deal on fish would also help in “building trust” between London and Brussels, she added.(1) It's just a combination of low turn out and a 52/48 marginal split, it does not mean we have a failure of democracy, that's a bit of a stretch.
