Petition Apply for the UK to join the Schengen area

I would like the government to, at the soonest possible time, apply for the UK to join the Schengen area to help enable greater freedom of movement for workers and young people across Europe again.

More details

I believe this will greatly improve the prospects and hopes for young people within the United Kingdom, allowing them to look into the future with brighter eyes knowing they have more doors open to them. I think it could also allow for a greater and easier level of movement for skilled workers and workers in industries we are currently lacking employees in to enter and positively contribute to British society.
