Well according to the DBT's overview of Britain's Brexit successes over the last 4 years with foreword by the Rt Hon Kemi Babadook MP, it's all sunlit uplands.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/brexit-4th-anniversary-updateI don't think the UK can just rejoin the EU, but probably need to reapply.This is how it works:Any European country can join the EU if it fulfills the membership criteria, also known as the Copenhagen criteria. For example, countries wishing to join must have- stable institutions that can guarantee democracy, the rule of law, human rights and the protection of minorities. - a functioning market economy and the ability to cope with the competitive pressure of the EU market.- the ability to take on the obligations of EU membership, including the capacity to implement all EU law and adhere to the aims of the Union.Each country that applies to join the EU must fulfil the same strict requirements and follow the same rigorous process to become a Member State. There are three main steps to this process, also known as the accession process. These are: Step 1: CandidacyA country wishing to join the EU must submit a membership application to the Council of the EU. The Council then asks the European Commission to check the applicant country’s ability to fulfill the membership criteria.Based on the Commission's recommendations, the Council decides whether to grant the country candidate status and to begin formal negotiations for its accession to the Union. All EU Member States must agree on this decision.Step 2: Membership negotiations During membership negotiations, the candidate country prepares to implement EU laws and standards, also known as the acquis.Throughout the negotiations, the Commission monitors the candidate's progress on these reforms and keeps the Council and European Parliament informed of this through regular reports and communications.Step 3: AccessionOnce the negotiations are complete, the Commission gives its opinion on whether the candidate is ready to become a Member State. If the Commission recommends that the candidate is ready, an accession treaty is prepared. This document details the terms and conditions of the country's EU membership.The accession treaty must then be approved by the European Commission, the European Council and the European Parliament before being signed and ratified by all EU Member States and the candidate country. The candidate country officially joins the EU on the date outlined in its accession treaty.https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/eu-enlargement_en
