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

Britain had a highly favourable agreement with the EU that it negotiated decades ago, for example being able to keep the pound instead of using the Euro. If it wanted to rejoin, it would do so without those privileges.

  I find it hard to believe that the EU would deny any and all membership benefits for the UK purely out of spite.
  
  It is not out of spite. More like a “Fool me once” situation. Brexit has cost the EU a lot - not as bad as it is for the UK, but still. If the UK ever rejoins, they would have to make sure that such a shit show never ever happens again. If only to sell it to the EU members who all have to be convinced that the UK will be a good boy from that point on.
