Lol why would the UK need to follow in Yugoslavias footsteps?
Have you read article 50? Do you know what a customs union is? This isnt jail or the Russian mob, countries have the right to depart if they want without pissing off the whole of Europe ,
As well as Europe being angry for two years theyve also made it as difficult as possible for the UK to leave and used the international media to trash them? So who would want to stick around for that behaviour ??
it would be impossible for europeans to accept uk ever as a full member again, their unreliability is their death sentence, from a european perspective only slices of uk can be accepted and considered trustworthy members ever again.
whats the point if next year there will be a "remain" brexit referendum.

The UK are still Europeans, the vote was to exit the EU which is a customs union. Article 50 states that any country wishing to return to the customs Union can do so after 2 years of exiting. Its EU law and already discussed and accepted. As one of the largest contributers and being a nuclear power plus our plan to become a tax haven to make ends meet , not only do the EU have to accept as stated in article 50, they would be grateful to have the UK back. The hostility received is because they dont want the UK to leave at all.
There should not be a second referendum. Youre right theres no point . The only thing worse than leaving is taking away power from the people and having parliament take away democracy by setting a precedent that we now overturn voting results if we dont like what the result is. The vote is a privilege and should be precise and executed regardless of the result with no tantrums accepted. It maintains order and consistency.
This three year long tantrum needs to stop. There are other countries in Europe that are not part of the EU and are doing just fine and have bought into the customs union. This has been a very important lesson for every country to see that this union which was signed is infact the equivalent of an abusive relationship where one is punished if they want to leave and become independent .
