I think the idea of an immediate return of the UK to the EU is a bit naive, to be honest.  It won't go like that.  What will happen (because the economic logic is inescapable - whatever party is in power) is a series of sector-by-sector deals, until rejoining the single market and customs union will not seem like a big deal to anybody.  

But rejoining the EU - the political union - is a different matter, and depends not only on the UK, but on how the EU has evolved without the UK in the meantime.
