Alright, so lets start the mess :doh::06:

A "soft" Brext means that the Uk mor eor less have to fulfill all its cureewnt duties and has to pay memberhsip fees for years and years to come and has to not claim back sovweriengt yover its borders and has to let all foreigners from Eu coutnrties in as it is now. All duties - but no participation in decision making anymore, no sitting at the table, and nothing of what the Brexit decision was much about about in Britain: sovereignty, migration, and m arket access newly negotiated with unknown outcome. The Brits pride themselves with being an old democracy, and to ignore the votum the peope gave last year seems to be unacceptable for quite many. May was against Brexit, but she seems to obey the votum. For now. Going for a hard Brexit only is consistent if the votum is to be taken serious. Anything else is just an alibi.
It tells quite a lot aboput the EU that it does not accept easily a de mocratioc votum of a property , sorry, I mean a people of course. But it snot the first timen that the EU prefers to ignore dmeocratic votings and decisions and demands expressed by national majorities. People shall only have their say if they say what the EU wants them to say. Its like in just any one-party-dictatorship with an alibi parliament of self-prfiting claqueurs.

On a sidenote, France's Macron has had less than the half of the people going to the election, second round yesterday. 56% of people did not vote again. That puts his claimed "majority" into some relation, I think, its not as if a majority of French people are really behind him. Macron now gets hyped by Germans like once they went almost hysteric about Obama. But I think Germans do not see the situation in France realistically, but like what they would like to see. Macron puts France first, at the cost of Germany and German private savers, and he is up against very strong resistance by the unions etc. I predict in two year he will have lost most of his magic, and the German government will be by one desillusionment richer. I doubt that French people love Macron so much. They more expressed their total disgust with the established parties.
And in two years, the hot running German economy already could be in troubles anyway. The current economic boom is overheating, the signs are written on the wall already. |
