    Good luck getting this past the Labour government. They are firmly rooted to remaining (excuse the pun) outside the EU. This is even before you attempt to get it past Conservative opposition or fringe party Reform nutters.

    If the party in power isn’t going to champion this then it’s an instant no go.

      …let alone the rest of the EU. They’d be crazy to accept a UK petition for membership right now.

      Labour are dedicated to the democratic vote, which is arguably the “right” thing to do, but not necessarily the best thing to do.
