The EU would offer them such insulting terms compared to their previous arrangements that they'll never rejoin.
They'd just get standard terms. Which they'd probably find insulting, admittedly.
I mean, if I got the same consideration as a financial blackhole like Greece I wouldn't call that fair from the UK perspective either. They made their own bed at this point though. I hope th EU lets them sit and spin for decades.
Theoretically, the admission process is supposed to be quite lengthy, so from their application to their integration, there could easily be fifteen years or more. Especially with a shaky economy.
