They would likely not get all of the previous special allowances back. Especially having a separate currency.

    Having your own currency is not a special treatment at all - instead, the Eurozone is kind of an elitist club inside the EU that won't let everyone in.

    The "British Rebate" (or whatever it was called) that guaranteed 66% of the British payments to be sent back to the UK on the other hand should be gone for good. Same for not being a member of the Schengen area or adhering to the rules concerning fiscal stability.

    Historically maybe, but it kind of changed in that all new EU members are supposed to commit to eventually also adopting the euro.

    I'm from the UK and I would much rather we join back and switch currencies.

    brexit was built on lies from the beginning it was painful watching people campaign to leave when the votes were happening.
