Clegg said:

My own view… is that the United Kingdom will have to sort of architect a sort of rapprochement, or re-entry into the European Union in one shape or form

Do you agree with him?

    Clearly UK should rejoin but the EU is not in any way on a “brink of collapse”.

    He claims EU went worse since Brexshit and the UK must rejoin to somehow “save” the EU which is a ridiculous claim. British exceptionalism at its finest.

      I’m not sure if he’s claiming that Brexit is the reason for EU troubles, but I dunno because I haven’t listened to the full interview (which is here, but I think you need to be in the UK to listen to it)

      Maybe he’s referring to the political troubles in Germany and France - the governments of both countries have collapsed recently

      When will the British exceptionalism stop? What needs to happen?
