Could Britain ever rejoin the EU?

About this episode

The Brexit deal, signed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in December 2020, has had a profound impact on the UK's economy, society, and politics. But what if Britain changed its mind and wanted to go back to the EU?  According to Article 49 of the Treaty on European Union, any European country that respects the EU's values and is committed to promoting them can apply to become a member of the EU. This means that, in theory, Britain could rejoin the EU at any time, as long as it meets the criteria and follows the procedure set out by the EU. Is it possible then?
