It seems pretty much a certainty that Andy Burnham will be the next British prime minister. Exactly when it happens depends on a few factors. We outline some of the reasons an early general election is likely.

I am very disappointed that labour aren't talking about rejoining the European union, but I know proportional representation must be brought into Westminster to save the uk union so if labour party won't talk about the European Union then it better start talking about proportional representation to save the uk?

Rejoin EU i.e. join Schengen and peg the Pound to EURO?
Lets see how much support it has in the UK.
UK has to prove that it has left behind the antiquated views of british nationalism/exceptionalism if they are to ever rejoin. Which means, it is not possible to skip Schengen
@andrewthacker114

Gutless Labour Party.Starmer should run on the rejoin platform, I think he’d do well. But if you are wishy washy , who’s going to vote for that ?

Why? They’re running scared of the thickos and headbangers in the red wall, that’s why.
And due to our broken voting system, they must win those seats back at the next election.
It’s academic anyway. The EU doesn’t want us back with our whining and obstructive ways.

Brexit Status 2023:
1. Brexit is DONE, EU doors are shut and Brexit cannot be reversed.
2. The treaty cannot be renegotiated
3. The existing treaty will not be replaced by a new one.
4. Joining/rejoining the EU/Single Market, Customs Union, EFTA etc. The EU/27 member states have the last word in it if a country wants to join and/or to rejoin after it just has left (including the Single Market/Customs Union). The EU/27 have the last word in it! So no country can join those without the specific permission from the EU/27 member states!
5. UK is not part of the Dublin agreement and now is a third country.
6. Reversing Brexit, by being on record for:
– not being reliable,
– not being trustworthy (Vladimir Putin style),
– having had a PM who was a pathetic liar (from the clown to the clone),
– breaching international law on treaties, i.e. EU/UK treaty,
– breaching the UNCHR Refugee Convention 1951 and its 1967 Protocol,
– campaigning to leave the ECHR,
– campaigning against the EU/27 member states a la 1930s – 1945s Germany and Adolf Hitler style, (Gary Lineker is so right)
– inciting hate and violence against EU and by insulting them,
it is to no surprise, if the EU/27 member states are more than happy to say:
"Thanks but NO Thanks"
Just the same answer Turkey received the 14 April 1987 when it applied to join the EU and didn't succeed.
So no worries about that one. It ain't be happening. The querulant sewage surrounded Little Britain is not welcome in the EU!
It is like the old saying: "Once burned, twice shy." And so is the EU.
Maybe the UK can try that in about a century's time!
Result: GB is Not Welcome!

The UK voted to LEAVE and that's that. The EU is a declining protectionist superstate by every metric. It was good to vote to leave when the UK did. The question is though, did the UK REALLY leave despite voting for it???
@howarddavies8937
December 24, 2023 at 1:41 pm
It's absurd to pre judge how the EU would respond if we applied to rejoin. For the sake of the economy we have to apply and if necessary hold another referendum as soon as possible. Politicians of influence in the EU seem to be generally favourable. If a Labour administration fails to act on this over the next five years and our economy is in the same dismal state the electorate could well turn back to the Tories and Keir Starmer will have wasted five years. Moreover reapplying to rejoin the EU is a wonderful opportunity to put the right wing in their place. 🇪🇺🇪🇺

Would be pointless. After decades of the UK's petulant child behavior, torpedoing the greater good until they could extort personal caveats, sometimes even just plain whoring themself out to the US to sabotage EU projects, as long as the veto or anything like it will exist, the UK will not be allowed back in and deservedly so.

Well on rejoining the EU one of the preconditions is that the applicant has to agree to adopt the Euro (bye bye £) and possibly join the Schengen area. Both will not go down well with Johny English.
@speedymccreedy8785
December 24, 2023 at 1:41 pm
Yes all that extra taxation required so that Britain can pay for its own EU membership plus chip in for other EU countries that wont pay their own share, about 20 billion pounds annually. When Starmer gets in we need a new EU tax to be imposed on everyone that supports EU membership.

What other choice does Labor have, for real? If they promise a rejoin all they are going to get is a "sorry but no" from the EU. All they can promise is to manage a softer brexit and improve relationship with the EU, but in no way a rejoin.

I doubt starmer believes that brexit is ok because he was a fervent remainer and you have to be a massive idiot to go from being pro eu to being pro brexit
