      Not to mention that the UK originally joined the EC in the early 70s precisely to fix its economical problems.

      Joining the EU might indeed be a bit off because everybody is weary of a not actually fully committed UK but that doesn’t mean the UK can’t join the single market, or at least a customs union. Turkey currently is more closely integrated with the EU than the UK is.

        I’m moderately happy that the UK is not in the EU because the Tories would put so many MPs to the ECR Group
