Yes. Farage and Bannon backed him. Good to see the scum that represent the silent majority ( according to them ) getting shown up for what they are. Populist opportunists.

You said you wonder why Merkel favours majority voting.... with the implication she was on his side. We don’t know much about what Merkel really thinks about the whole thing. She is not knocking him too much because she needs his support- at the moment. What has taken off? Nothing as far as I...

I don’t know why the people didn’t vote for him. He was beating Merkel in the polls at the beginning. Even Farage was plugging the fact that Merkel was behind her opponent ( didn’t say the name of the opponent). I never understood the Messiah bit. I liked Sigmar Gabriel. I have seen him...

The scandals seemed to have died away and Schulz was welcomed as the messiah by the SPD. Would like to know what happened there. Some of his scandals like getting people jobs and gravy training it apply to many others. Not a justification, but that certainly needs to be sorted out. But, he did...

Seem to be very close. But what happened to the plan to keep Schulz in the EU? There is also something to do with expenses or attendance allowance with Schulz. But, apart from that.... the idea of a federal government with countries taking care of local and national issues is not a bad one...

No. Being German doesn’t answer Dave‘s question and shows your racist teint. If you want to read about skullduggery and the stupidity of bragging about it, read this: David Davis has rushed to repair damage caused by his comments about the breakthrough Brexit deal not being legally binding...

Yes. Astute can.

Yes. It says it is unlikely to happen and that Merkel is not saying much on the subject. Which is what I keep telling you.

He was head of the parliament twice. I don’t know whether he can run a third time. I think he couldn’t which is why he came back. He came straight back to be party leader, which would also explain why he came home. Hope I answered your question. You could of course check that with the Express...

No. Not true. You said that. I said she was against it, but had not slammed it. She and her party had other priorities. I named immigration as one of them.

Nothing is going on.

Schulz isn’t even in the EU or governing Germany and CDU has other priorities. But, the Express is having a hay day, so a EU dictatorship with an EU army will be happening any day soon. Luckily the plucky Brits saw this coming a long while ago.... #thank god we’re leaving. Saved by Johnson...

Yes, Astute thinks the same ;-).

The system that Schultz wants is the same or similar to that of Germany. The system is the same whether 27, 50 or 16 states ( as in Germany).

One federal state. Schultz said the EU should not be involved in local or national issues. A bit like Washington. The countries keep local and national rights. The European relevant things get dealt with by MEPs - ELECTED - by the citizens of Europe.

Yes. I keep telling you that. I live in a federal country which is more democratic than yours at the moment. I am happy enough to be applying for citizenship of that country. There is nothing unusual or evil about federal states, or rather the more democratic ones such as Germany or Switzerland.

The central government is “they”. They are getting the same choice as you: remain with the new system or leave. They have just as much a vote as you. You chose to leave. The others may prefer the increased democracy for Europeans as opposed to sailing off into a glorious sunset, as you have chosen.

Is the EU a country? Are all 27 others in on this?

What do you mean „come clean“? You may not have noticed it, but the UK is not the same as 1960. what is identity? I think I have a British identity, but a British Asian aged 30 will have a different version of being British. The people in Schleswig Holstein have some state identity, but they...

Yes. That is democracy. Same as either remain or leave. We’re leaving because we won’t accept e.g. free movement.
