ToraToraTora, hymie is a blinkered horse, probably only bothered about travel restrictions ie holidays or buying a house in eu, as was said it was a trade community, but now federalist and all the wacky rules it set down for it's members, but we all know who benefits the most, germany and france, so it's not a level playing field.
The vision of the EU was always as a political union, rather than an economic one, even if this was not emphasised when we joined. Regardless, the point is that know we'd know what we are getting into. The electorate may, or may not, wish to join it with that full understanding (although with perhaps less of the propaganda that still permeates your post: we have always had control over our borders, whether in the EU or not, and if you've had problems with how we've controlled them in the past then you should look closer to home).

But in the end, my point is that this isn't a decision for the next election. Or the one after that. Or any GE at all, really. No doubt there will have to be a "first" party to make the move, but if Labour and the Tories remain split on this then the question is no more resolved by the "Rejoin" side winning. They'd *both* need to agree to it. And, by this metric, it's not going to happen any time soon.
I think Labour would employ a drip drip effect. Little by little - and hope no one notices.
Why should the EU allow the UK to rejoin, just to save Britain for the Mess they got themselves into .

// Why should the EU allow the UK to rejoin //

i'm inclined to agree but what surprised, is that no party are prepared to even try. why would you suppose that is Gulliver, if public aspirations to be in the EU are as popular as we're often told?
They love our money, Gulliver.
And the Germans need an ally against the Romanics and Orthodox nations of the Med plus three others....Austria and the Netherlands are too lightwieght and forget the Baltics and Eastern Europe.
//…we have always had control over our borders, whether in the EU or not,//

How is that then? Up to a couple of years ago some 450m people had the unfettered right to enter, remain and work here. They could not be turned away at the border and they could only be removed in very limited circumstances. There was no control whatsoever over those people. How can a country which must allow access to so many people have control of its borders?
