Macron Says He'd Welcome U.K. Back to EU If Voters Change Their Minds

French President Emmanuel Macron said he’d welcome Britain back should its voters decide in a second referendum to stay in the European Union.

“For sure,” Macron responded when asked in a Bloomberg interview at the One Planet Summit on climate change in New York on Wednesday.

Asked about giving up the opportunity of luring London bankers to Paris, he responded: “This is about history, not about domestic interests,” though he insisted it’s not up to him to decide if Britain holds another referendum.

Speaking on the sidelines of the forum, Macron also insisted he isn’t deterred by tumbling poll numbers and intends to pursue his program of modernizing the French economy.

A UK general election is required, immediately. A responsible Corbyn-led government in the UK should work to reform EU institutions, policies and practices from the inside and from the real left.
