Culling a Conservative Party made up of Europhobic zealots was the start of that process, but realistically, no one wants to return us to that civil war right now. We have to be punished more, and then we'll get an unequivocal mandate for rejoining. I feel as frustrated as you.

The terms of rejoining would not include the advantages we have just given away, and would cost our currency and that would start another period of divisive, nationalist politics and increase Reform's vote. We need a longer run in the wilderness, until an overwhelming majority support rejoining.

Do you imagine the toxic Tory media and Russian/foreign interference that enabled Brexit would sit back and ignore any moves to patch that hole we put in the EU? Would the EU even take us back?
