France, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Hungary could leave.
Front National leader Marine Le Pen has pledged to hold a French referendum if she emerges victorious in next year’s presidential elections.
While for the past two months a Nexit has been on the cards after Dutch voters overwhelmingly rejected a Ukraine-European Union treaty
Details of Berlin’s concerns were outlined in a finance ministry strategy document.
Angela Merkel’s country faces having to pay an extra £2.44billion a year to the annual EU budget once Britain has left.
Fears for the future of the EU have prompted German government officials to propose that Britain is offered “constructive exit negotiations”.
The aim is of making the UK an “associated partner country” of the EU, according to German newspaper Die Welt today.
What a dumb move by the folks of this lost empire.
Even Churchill knew to keep your enemies close.
Remember the Dardenelles !
A dumb move? Imagine it from your own perspective. Imagine NAFTA taken to the same level as the EU. Not only do the USA, Canada, and Mexico have a trading arrangement, but you now have open borders with these countries and absolutely anyone from these countries can legally move and work anywhere within the three countries. It gets worse. You also have a separate NAFTA governing body that sits, probably in somewhere like Mexico City. Sounds crazy, right? That’s the EU.
The Brits were smart to lose this extra layer of unnecessary beauracracy.
Government is out of control.
Time for the people to take control and downsize.
Joining the EU was the dumb move
