Negative.
We should never have left and I don’t see why any other EU country would want to.

I think Britain had to leave such an undemocratic and highly bureaucratic system that seeks to punish its members than actually support them. Look at how badly the southern states are doing, Greece almost went bankrupt in the 2012 European Financial Crisis. The EU also openly blackmails its member states to do its bidding or they will withhold ECB funds.
And this is all before we talk about the actions they took during the pandemic against the people, the actions it is taking against Dutch farmers for the crime of producing food... the EU having its worst current account deficit on record due to energy price inflation which itself is due to a lack of energy resources and now we have the war in Ukraine which could escalate into a broader conflict on the European mainland and WW3.
So yes, the list of failures is quite long and that is just the tip of the ice berg.
In the long term, I believe the EU is going to break up and it looks like Italy is next. The people want their sovereignty back and they will get it back.
Also, if we European people really want to get strong economic growth back we have to cast aside the economic policies that have failed for decades and it will take a big depression, could even be worse than 1929 America.
Whether we like it or not, for there to be real economic growth that actually benefits the people as a whole rather than just the financial sector via the Cantillon Effect and blowing bubbles in financial asset prices (which is the Keynesianist monetary policy that all Central Banks are doing, not just the ECB) its going to take alot of pain and alot of Schumpeter Creative Destruction, regardless of whichever party is in office.
For those who disagree then they are simply advocating for more of the same which has failed to produce a better life for the people for so many years. I could literally write pages more but I will leave it there.

@ElladaBritannia Thank you very much! That's what I thought too. However, in Europe, the Brexit is used to say that the British people really miss the European Union which is supposedly an indispensable body for the evolution and the prosperity of the people.
Nevertheless, in practice, the EU gives itself the right to be more powerful than the member countries and hardly keeps any of its promises. We were promised prosperity, but the purchasing power has been steadily decreasing since joining the EU and especially since euro. We were promised peace with the USSR and we are at war with its descendant. We were promised union and never have people been so divided, whether it be about ecology, homosexuality, politics, immigration, etc. We have been promised evolution but many countries including Belgium and France find themselves in mass addictions to drugs, video games, sex, etc.
Many movements question the European Union like Les Patriotes (a small French party) or Fidesz but the problem is that they are discredited and not very powerful in front of the Europeanists.

@Aaron1D Very interesting response, I can see you are one of the intellects. France has become a third world, it is under constant racial wars and holy wars with its so called French citizens. This problem is not unique to France but all of the European mainland. People are fed up and there will be some kind of peoples revolution.
There is so much more I can say but it would take too long. All we can do is pray to God that he will guide Europe in its hour of darkness.

@Aaron1D We have a saying in English - it’s better to be inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in…
