    Sounds like they want a back door in to EU, while not following the rules. I am guessing they will not offer to pay in to this system, like EU members would.

    They had a priviliged founding position in the EU and threw that away. They should just bite the bullet and join as a normal member.

      Nah, the twats wanted all the benefits but none of the obligations. The EU gave them the bird.

      The EU should still make quitting the EU possible. E.g. if landlocked countries can’t quit because the EU taxes transport too much for them then the EU becomes a prison, not only for those countries.

        It is? What isn’t possible is leaving the EU but still being a part of the EU but only in the ways that benefit you at the EU’s expense.
