I suspect it’s the other way around. Time needs to pass for the wounds created during the process to heal, and for the core of those opposed to membership to pass on. It’ll also be nothing like it was before; the UK had a lot of power, and many carve outs and exceptions that they wont get back, so going back in may be a harder sell than many people believe.

It’s unwise to wait, especially if it means collective amnesia and another round of more intense conservative/neoliberal rule.
Realistically I don’t think Britain is going to rejoin the EU (or even the single market or customs union) any time soon.
I think it can happen one day. Maybe in at least 10 years’ time.
