Ireland drives on the left also and is an eu member. Why should Britain rejoining, which messed is up first time round lead to more annoying changes for us when they rejoin. Were both islands seperate from the continent, so it shouldn’t affect things to keep the status quo.
If it has to be done, we should at least phase it in. Perhaps have professional drivers like taxis or trucks switch first and then cars next and learner drivers last. Should ease the transition.
In all seriousness, I can see a future where we move to self driving cars and they don’t have a preferred side for the wheel or controls, so at one point it would make sense to change everything over to be consistent. However, at that point, it would not make sense to have roads being used in a system designed for human use. The roads should just be used as efficiently as possible, which might mean tidal lanes etc or abandoning lanes altogether and cars just.using the space that their size needs.
