          Actually probably not. Not without major concessions. The pound will have to go which they will never accept unless they have absolutely no other choice

              Because countries that join nowadays have to adopt the Euro. Denmark, for example, joined when that was still allowed, so they still have their DK.

                Apparently it’s dependent on the signing of a certain agreement before a certain date, which the UK did sign, so it’s actually debated on whether or not Brexit made that signature null or not.

              Yeah I’m confused about this statement… There’s several EU countries that don’t use the Euro, like Poland and Czechia.

                Some joined when the rules stated that you could choose. Some others are just waiting to meet conditions that will allow them to enter the Eurozone (like Croatia did last year)

        The UK adopts various EU rules, a lot of stuff even sold in Northern Ireland has to abide by EU rules (so just say that Apple did make separate lightning and USB C phones, they’d have to use separate operations to sell specific ones in parts of the UK and not others, it probably would have been easier for them to just sell the European models)

      This keeps happening—can you lot make some laws for a change?

      Edit: oh wait not like that

        California tries its best… There’s a bunch of pro-consumer laws that other states don’t have. There’s the CCPA which is similar to GDPR (including the right to know and the right to be forgotten). You must be able to cancel a service easily online if you can sign up online. Store gift cards aren’t allowed to have expiration dates. Gift cards with less than $10 on them must be redeemable for cash. Stricter laws against false advertising. And a bunch of other useful laws.

        Not as good as the Australian Consumer Law, but better than pretty much every other US state.
