[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1092869, member: 56232"] As a remainer who would like to re-join, there is a certain basic reality that must be accepted, it won't happen any time soon if at all. As well as us wanting to re-join, we would need the EU wanting us back. Suffice to say I could see some EU members blocking us joining after what happened with Brexit and our newly gained reputation for being unreliable and our word meaning nothing internationally now. It does beg the question what counts as a final referendum result? Leave were demanding plans for a 2nd referendum whilst the first was still happening in case they lost, Scotland are demanding a 2nd. It seems the non-status quo can demand re-runs ad infinitum but the ones wanting a change are final if they win. Leavers say they got to go against the original referendum to join because the EU was different to what we originally joined and enough time had passed. By extension Scotland can say the relationship Britain has with the world has fundamentally changed as so they can have a 2nd. If the EU becomes a cohesive country in the future, we could argue it has changed again and demand a referendum. The only consistency is the hypocrisy of people who advocate one but think those same arguments don't then apply when they don't like it. [/QUOTE]
