The British Prime Minister did not rule out the return of the country to the EU

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham did not rule out returning the country to the European Union, writes sb.by.

Andy Burnham said that the UK can both remain outside the EU and return to the European community, if the will of the population.

“We can leave it as it is. This is definitely one option if people think the current situation is worth preserving. We can study what [former Treasury Secretary] George Osborne said about a customs union, we can consider the Liberal Democrats' proposal for the single market they talked about at their convention, or we can go all the way.

In 2016, before a referendum where Britons narrowly voted to leave the EU, Andy Burnham campaigned for Remain and criticized Leave supporters.

On the eve of the convention of the ruling Labour Party, which he chairs, the prime minister promised to "find consensus" to decide on London's long-term position on the issue, but did not explain how it would be done. “Brexit has done more evil than good,” he said.
