    I am a strong supporter of the EU, and won’t sign this. This country is too xenophobic, fractious, reactionary, and delusionally self-important to let them back into the union when it’s still reeling from the damage the UK caused just a few years ago.

    If the UK is serious about rejoining, it will first have to stop treating EU membership like a glorified trade agreement and stepping stone to national power and influence. The EU needs community members and partners, not self-aggrandising parasites.

          Nothing from the EEC survived into the EU then? In your opinion. None of the trade agreement or treaties or policies. When it morphed into the EU all that was dropped and replaced by general cooperation amongst member states I suppose?
