Ha! Would be nice. We need to ensure "join the EU" is in the next (2029?) manifestos - and that those parties promising it get a majority of votes in that GE -- then it's game on for negotiations on bringing back a deal, very likely referendum - and then ratifications.

That's the plan! Just starting with Andy Burnham's 10-year framework here - then hoping to tighten it from there.

I've just added my name to the call for the UK to join the European Union by 2036. A stronger economy, more jobs, greater security, and a louder voice in the world. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/join_eu_by_2...

Closer ties with Europe would help our economy grow. It’s good to hear Andy Burnham making that case in Berlin. The upcoming UK–EU summit is a chance to make real progress. We’re looking to the government to make the most of it.

Something huge is happening on Monday! And we need your help, write to your MP to make sure they're at Westminster Hall on Monday at 4:30pm to debate whether the UK should join the EU. Together we can get the UK back to the heart of Europe!

Tell Burnham!

@mikegalsworthy.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 3:08 PM

I would prefer tomorrow.

4) 2032 hold ref (6 months process for debate on the deal. EU will v likely demand a ref) - if that passes, then needs a few years of accession processes and also ratification by all members. 5) 2034-6 UK back in.

@mikegalsworthy.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 3:04 PM

It’s not 10 years to start… …it’s starting now. 1) NOW - make the case in all parties. Govt pursues close alignment, maybe FOM already. 2) 2029 - Rejoin in manifestos. Notify EU. If Lab/LD/Green win - open accession talks immediately. 3) 2031/2 - A negotiated deal returns… needs a ref
