Full question wording

Prior to leaving the European Union, the UK had several opt-outs from major European Union policy areas (e.g. not having to join the Euro, not having to participate in the Schengen passport-free travel zone). If the UK were
permitted to rejoin the European Union, do you think they should be allowed to keep these previous opt-outs, or should they have to participate in all major EU policy areas?
