“Britain’s place is in the European Union. Our shared prosperity and security rely on it. If we are serious about peace, security, and autonomy, the EU needs to enlarge to the East and the West.”
“The leaders of all European Green parties stated in May that, if the British people choose to return to the European Union in the future, the Green parties in Europe are ready to welcome them back. Now this possibility is finally being discussed openly at the highest level of British politics, and has been received positively by Prime Minister Sanchez and President Macron. We now hope that the European political families and governments that support the UK’s eventual return to the European Union will make their position equally clear."
“Britain rejoining also helps us move further along the road to Irish unity, as there would be no need for the "Irish Sea Border", thus eliminating the need for any customs checks between the UK and Ireland and ensuring all parts of Ireland and the UK would be subject to the same EU regulatory controls on trade,” Ciarán Cuffe concluded.
The European Greens were the first European political family to explicitly invite the UK to rejoin the European Union, making that call in Declaration of the Green Leadership Council in May 2026.
