I’d add to that the demand that the UK must fully comply with EU standards on human and civil rights, especially the right to freedom of opinion, freedom of assembly and the prohibition of torture.
Specifically this refers to the criminalization of Stop Oil and Palestine Action and the torture of Julian Assange.
I wholeheartedly agree that Germany is falling significantly below these standards and should face repercussions by the EU. Unfortunately the sanctioning mechanisms for members in the EU are still lackluster.
When it comes to countries joining the EU, it is easier to scrutinize the adherence to the EU standards.
I am afraid that Germany will rather blow up the EU than stop its descend into authoritarianism.

I mean wouldn’t that require, say, Germany to follow these standards first?

Yeah, how’s that going with Hungary? We cannot rely on the EU to enforce civil rights or freedoms. The UK needs to sort that ourselves.
Bringing in proportional representation is far more important than rejloining the EU in my opinion. That would be better for repairing the UK.
