EUROPE as we know it could go "down the drain" if Britain's EU exit is handled badly and other members states decided to follow the UK out of the door, a German politician fears.
Germany fears EU to go ‘DOWN THE DRAIN’ if UK 'keeps the nice things' after Brexit
Economy minister Sigmar Gabriel warned the world now saw Europe as an unstable continent following the shock referendum result in June.
And he urged Brussels not to let Britain "keep the nice things" when it game to negotiating the nation's withdrawal from the bloc.
He said: "Brexit is bad but it won't hurt us as much economically as some fear - it's more of a psychological problem and it's a huge problem politically.
"If we organise Brexit in the wrong way then we'll be in deep trouble, so now we need to make sure that we don't allow Britain to keep the nice things, so to speak, related to Europe while taking no responsibility."
Uhhhhh... am I the only one who sees how utterly bat**** ****ing crazy the Ultranationalist Kingdom is going?
You are holding an entire continent hostage!
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. This sociopathic ethno-nationalist elitism is spreading like a damn disease and it is a blight upon this planet, driving division and borders between our brothers and sisters and feeding into an authoritarian desire to divide-and-conquer.
I think there is in Britain as here in France a lot of persons who don't understand that the capacity of these countries to be a hyperpower without anybody's help disappeared with the Suez Crisis, and so they still run after their old glory.
No need to worry, the UK wont get the "nice things" without consequences.. That has been clear from before Brexit. Only the delusional Brexiters actually believed that they could have it all and not pay for it. The longer it takes the UK to trigger article 50, the better it gets for the EU as a whole and the worse of the UK.
I wouldnt be too sure about that. The EU said they would get tough on Russia after the incidents in Ukraine and they ended up folding.
What on earth does this have to do with Brexit?
The thing is that the EU is hampering solutions to the challenges of the 21st century, wasting huge quantities of money cleaning up as the poor policies and ignoring the well being of its populations as old treaties and lies of the past 40 years begin to falter and hurt the populations beyond even the strongest government capabilities of hiding it. And the world sees how incredibly unreliable and self centered the EU is. The only reason for any autocrat in his right mind to treat Europe well is in order to destabilize Nato, while that can be achieved.
But the EU is a really bad organization in most every way you look at it and the European populations should stand up and demand rollback to the point of Consensus or exit. As it stands, it can only harm them further.

If the UK (Ultranationalist Kingdom) decides to return to its pre-U.S. imperialist fascism in a streak of psychotic nostalgia there is little the EU will do to actually stop it. I used to think the U.S. was the most arrogant collective ego on the planet, but I'm pretty sure this and other recent events associated with it have proven me wrong...
Everything.
If the UK decides to return to its pre-US imperialist ways... then good luck to them as they will be as isolated as North Korea. They cant bully people as they use too, and dont have the military muscle to force people.

What? A local conflict in the remote reaches of Europe.. is some how relevant to the people of the EU? Most dont give a crap about Ukraine.

It is astounding that someone that professes interest in EU affairs should not see that immediately in all its aspects.
You completely misunderstood what I was referring to- namely how spineless the EU ministers are- they could very well fold if the UK plays hardball with them.
And it astounds me that people like you think that the Ukraine situation is at all relevant. It is a cold war issue between the US and Russia. The EU would rather not have anything to do with the Ukraine and their Nazi government.
So you think the EU ministers are "spineless" when it comes to Russia? Ever think that they dont care about Ukraine at all and were only pushed into the mess thanks to the Americans and Brits? You do know that the EU/US/UK support (at least for now) a borderline neo-nazi government in the Ukraine? Ministers and countries have been distancing it self from almost the start.. from the Ukrainians.. because of this. The only thing keeping the EU in the situation, is a massive political pressure from within NATO.
Now with the UK it is another matter. Here the EU ministers do not want the UK to have all the perks of the EU without consequences.. there will not be any "backing down".. the UK will (when it finally gets its own political mess in order) have to pay dearly for leaving the EU.

Oh, the EU people are worse than spineless. Much worse.
