Petition to "Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible" hit 100k signatures

petition.parliament.uk Petition: Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible

I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there is no future prospect of any, that the UK has changed its mind and that this should be recognised.

....so? 100'000 is nothing. But even if we assume 51 %, would it actually work?
- Why shouldn't it work? The EU is open for new members. As a recent EU member, UK should fulfill all requirements for membership. If the UK gov wants, they can apply for membership and that should be relatively quick
  
  One of the requirements is a unanimous invitation by the countries already in the EU. Countries that remember the circus it was every time anything had to be approved in the council because of the British government. The chances of UK joining while a single country can still veto decisions is about 0.
  
  That can be negotiated around.
  
  How would you negotiate around UK's exceptionalism interfering with the work of EU institutions? Last time they got all the opt outs to unblock progress for everyone else.
  The compromise here would be the UK joining the EEA on the same terms as Norway, and see if Brits are willing to actually follow the rules for at least a decade before they got a vote on them again.
  
  Fair point.
  I also think they should have to scrap the pound, to really integrate with the EU and to minimise the risk of another brexit. But you are right, baby steps!
  
  Why? Because they just left...? No idea if the representatives of all those countrieswould just allow them right back after they talked so much shit about the EU and then proceeded to do so much damage and extra work.
  
  Or every other country would like a clear signal that leaving the EU is a bad thing and "even UK wants back in"
  
  Can Colorado join? The union we’re in now is in shambles.
- In some countries a specific number triggers a vote, I don't think that exists in the UK though?
  
  It does https://petition.parliament.uk/
  10,000 prompts a government response
  100,000 prompts a debate in parliament
  Eheran could have just taken 2 seconds to look at the conditions of petitions in the UK instead of being dismissive
