Would it not make sense to perhaps invite the UK to be an associate member first? We’re right on the doorstep.

  You don‘t want to have any level of association with us, as you‘ve made clear repeatedly over many years, involving many insults.
  Don‘t expect the EU to actively offer anything again. Do the first step (after getting a clear view what proportion of your population actually wants that).
  The United Kingdom would be a great member, as you had been. But that ship has politically sailed.
