At every juncture, EU officials thought, and behaved, as if the UK was bluffing. The big irony is Merkel and the EU are bluffing, not the UK.
How long will German businesses put up with Merkel before her anti-cherry picking charade blows sky high?
Before addressing the question let’s step back and recap how wrong the EU has been every step of the way.
Wrong Six Times And Counting
- The EU though Cameron would never hold a referendum.
- The EU thought it would never pass.
- The EU thought Cameron would never let Brexit happen after the vote was in.
- The EU thought that Theresa May would quickly reverse Cameron.
- The EU though Theresa May would eventually cave into EU solidarity.
- The EU still thinks the UK has more to lose and Theresa May will come to her senses.
Hello EU, the UK Isn’t Bluffing
All along the EU acted as if the UK was bluffing.
If the EU had a little more common sense and a lot less arrogance at step 1, Brexit might not have happened.
That’s all history. We are at point 6 now. But it’s not the UK that needs to come to its senses, it’s the EU.
How many times does one have to be proven wrong before reality sets in?
