There is something called solidarity. Poland seems to have forgotten what it means. How many were they asked to take and how many have they taken? How does that compare to their population?

Nothing at all unusual. It would be unusual if I agreed 100% with someone from AfD ( ex ). It is possible to see good things and bad things to do with the EU.

The German minimum wage is linked to average wage rises and raised every 2 years.

Only difference to me is that the UK government should put their commitment in writing to pay what they owe - as far as we can assess at the moment. May has said we wil honour our commitments. But, who knows how long she will be around and what she thinks are our commitments. Henkel is pretty...

The same foundation says that the labour market is tight, but wages are still not rising in line with inflation. It says that the recent British model has been one of „low skill, low pay“ jobs. Which is what I said. Corbyn is contradictory and seems to mess up in this article. Whatever... we...

How is there an over supply of labour? We have virtually brim full employment- There will never be 0,00% unemployment. People are between jobs, just out of school or university still looking for the right job, or maybe people don’t want to work. If we have such low unemployment, then there is an...

Henkel was in the AfD until 2015. He left because of Petry and her husband, but is still a supporter of some AfD views. He is not a leading politician in Germany, but a MEP.

That is why most people didn’t vote for Brexit. The ones who stayed at home could have voted for Brexit, but were not convinced of voting either way. Unfortunately for them, they allowed Brexit to happen and are as guilty of creating this mess as the Brexit voters. Brexodus is under way. Not...

Tusk, but not Juncker. Merkel doesn’t tell me anything. There is a whole world of information out there... you should check it out sometime. The critic of Merkel at the moment is that she doesn’t tell anyone anything, and just sits back and lets the others argue amongst themselves. She was...

Here we go. A „what abouter“.

Yes, of course you have. You have just done it again. I was talking about as compared with Merkel. And yes I wouldn’t put Juncker or Tusk above Merkel either. Did you bother to check my facts as I suggested? Doubt it, you just make up your own to suit your argument.

I said noone wants a new election. That is not the same as saying it will be easy. Yes, I am surprised that they didn’t get there. Let’s see how it pans out. No one knows what will happen now. Steinmeier is talking to all parties and urging them to take a deep breath and think again. Either they...

It is called stating facts which you can google if you wish.

What problems are the Germans waking up to? You think they are doing well out of the EU. All the main parties see that. The AfD is mainly about the Syrian refugees. The FDP is pro EU, but wants reform.

Depends on the definition of huge. Never denied there is a rise in right wing votes, but pointed out that, in Germany at least, that it is regional. My ward was 3% for AfD. They gained in some inner cities in the West, but nowhere near as much as in the East. Merkel won the same percentage as...

Ok. Has May made U turns? Are there threats of rebellion in May‘s cabinet? Could Merkel govern with the SPD if they wanted to govern with her? Has Merkel always led a strong coalition government? Has Roy Moore been dating teenies in the past? Did Bannon ask for Farage to fly over to endorse Roy...

Well, seeing as it you and you are usually wrong, I will take that as a compliment.

She has always led a strong government. No rebellion against her. Coalition contracts were made and honoured. She can’t get it at the moment because the SPD don’t want to govern in a grand coalition. Largely because Merkel is too strong in comparison. May is extremely weak. Rebellion...

How long has Merkel led a very strong and very stable government? Where is May‘s strong and stable government? David Davis has just told the Germans not to put politics before prosperity. They are pissing themselves at the hypocrisy. Apropos hypocrisy....how is the man Farage endorsed in the...

I am surprised. Will be interesting to see how it pans out. We don’t have a Kanzler at the moment. Bundestag has to vote on that. It is a lame duck situation. Merkel is dependent on Steinmeier the President, as if she can’t form a government, he has to either call an election within 60 days, or...
