To wish we were back in the EU

[Poetrypatty]

This situation in Ukraine and seeing how the EU has responded to it all has made me miss being in the EU and want to be back in rather than just out on a limb on our own. I wondered what MNers think
YABU - better off as we are
YANBU - wish we were back in the EU

How'd that work? You were in the EU back in 2015?

I believe it was January of this year, we were able to send weapons to Ukraine because we weren't held up by having to have discussions with other countries.

Not that I think it's a good thing we're out of the EU, I don't, but making unilateral decisions has become easier - for better and for worse.

@MimosaPiqueNique do you have credible links stating that this is true ? Or is it just what some thin
I see this sort of thing written a lot but never with evidence to back it up ?

I think leaving the EU was the greatest act of economic self-harm this country has done in recent years. However, we are not going to re-join and I'd like a competent government prepared to work constructively with the EU member states.

I'd extend it way past just "recent years". Totally agree with the rest.
