Not a good analogy. Really not.

It’s like thinking about marrying your ex-wife again, just after you went through an awful divorce, that took years to get accomplished, which you had insisted in. It would make you look somewhat stupid and the question is whether your ex-wife would let you move back in to your former house (i.e. the EU). Who knows…
You wanted it, you got it, now live with it!

Why not?

Because there are about 4 billion other women in the planet you could date, and according to my emails, at least hundreds in your local area.
There are no other global trading blocs in Britain’s local area.radix@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I see what you mean.

Sure, but in this analogy, your ex wife was great partner that was good for you and you only broke up because you thought you could do better. Only after your divorce, you realize you aren’t actually doing better on your own and want your ex wife back, but are too afraid to admit it. And also your ex wife might not want you back anymore (if she does, she’s gonna ask you to really prove you’re committed).

Yes but also you got all your mates and family together in one room, told them you’re confused and you don’t know if you should go back to her or not, and swore on your penis that you will go by the concensus in the room, which after a lot of debate they collectively decided that you should not go back to her.

Also your mates and family don’t really get his your marriage worked and didn’t like your ex’s politics for confused reasons.
