        I don't think a simple "oopsie, can we get back in?" Solution is really in the cards. Politically the UK is still kind of eurosceptic (and not without reason) so it would still be a hard sell at home, and the general disposition they took during Brexit negotiations are probably going to make the EU parliament more leery of them.
