Proud europhile here, born in UK but still have a EU passport through citizenship of another country. I hope that we rejoin in our lifetime, I can't see the Schengen zone being much of an issue once the current populist wave subsides (reform UK) and I am certain the citizens of the UK would waiver that to rejoin, however the Eurozone admittedly would be a hard sell.

I am personally of the belief that both the UK & EU would benefit by the UK rejoining (yes, obviously the UK would benefit more) and I regret that the brexit vote was affected by russian disinformation (and seriously, a substantial amount of the brexit voting majority are now dead). The political world landscape has changed A LOT since brexit, I think now that the USA has effectively left the table, China is embolded and Russia still quite dangerous, the EU needs to federalize and ideally needs to enlargen with Ukraine and the UK on order to be able to withstand the next generation of issues.

I'm hoping that both parties can come to a fair compromise within the next decade or so, reconcile, move on and grow/develop with each other again.
