What egos? What are you on about? People like me are being used as pawns which is why I had to get German citizenship.

„The so-called “passerelle” clause, enshrined in Article 48 of the treaty, could be used for “internal market matters,” the EU executive said in its work programme for next year“ Internal market matters.... no army, no forced superstate... just some market matters which includes some fiscal...

„some“ veto rights. Not all veto rights.

I cannot see why 27 should change their system just because the UK is leaving. The UK chose to leave. It’s democracy, apparently, get over it. They UK has been offered 2 alternatives and the EU has rejected a third because it breaks their rules, that leaves the fourth scenario of no deal. I...

One side is a union with existing rules. The other is leaving the union and wants the union to accommodate it by changing it‘s rules. It cannot change it’s rules without unanimous consent of 27 partners. It is up to the one that is leaving to find a way of leaving in it’s best possible...

There is no superstate. We have veto rights. Romania and Hungary are wealthier than they were. Fiscal and monetary union are not necessarily a disadvantage. Depends on the the terms. Seems that you have backed the wrong horse if you are prepared to take any crap to avoid something that...

How can a country express itself other than through electing a party which provides a PM or president? No matter what the facts are, you just come out with some crap excuse. And.. Brexit is ignoring business and ultimately it will be the man in the street that suffers the hit. To quote a...

Yes, Brexit is making people do things against what they know to be the best thing to do. This can only end in tears. A minority of the whole of people with voting rights voted for , any one of, at present, 4 different versions of leave. Whichever leave is chosen it will satisfy only a minority...

Every country in the EU stood by Barnier at Salzburg. That is not Mart‘s opinion. It is documented fact.

27 democratically elected heads of state backed Barnier. 0 Backed May. Who told 27 heads of state to back Barnier?

Your version, is that the EU is unprepared and the EC and ECB are incompetent, or you suggest they must be, or that they haven’t thought of the consequences of Brexit on the financial system and are inactive. You haven’t mentioned that Carney and Draghi have been working together in a joint...

So you would take Norway with free movement and regulatory alignment? But with no say? Or you would take a crash out, WTO and a Fox USA or Rees Mogg deregulation and drop all tariffs deal? Or Canada style FTA, which would mean a possible sea border with NI? Or you would back Chequers, which in...

I haven’t read it. The government claims to be able to bring in measures for a three year period to allow EEA Banks to apply for UK licenses. Do you mean the ECB? Astute refers to the EIB as the EU bank.

I don't understand the bit about their egos. Whose egos? In what way is this about egos? The way the EU is being run isn't even mentioned here in Germany. A bit of uproar about Selmayr, but people are not going on and on about it. Brexit is indeed the fault of people who voted for it without...

Who told 27 heads of government what to say?

Are you in agreement with Canada+, Norway, Chequers or no deal? Genuinely interested? You must be unhappy with three of them.

What? The UK is leaving. The EU wanted the status quo. What are they supposed to do now? Look after their members' interests by getting as much business as they can in the circumstances? Or just say 'take your cherries and you don't have to pay anything or to comply with our laws'?

There are 4 'leaves' on the table at the moment. All incompatible. So which one, leave version, did people vote for? Did more people vote for remain than any of the other, leave, alternatives.

What now? The EU is 27 countries. They back Barnier unaminously as was shown at Salzburg.

If what continues?
