The thing is that the EU needs reforms and additional members will just make them even harder. The expansionism of the past has definitely caused problems for us. I think it’s fair enough to be at least a little more cautious than before
If we decoupled today it would mean immediate economic collapse, I’ll hand him that. He sure is bad with words for a chacellor thought.
But honestly speaking, he’s just one old, out-of-touch guy. I think the people the brought him into power are more to blame than he is. He did not grab power, he was his party’s choice for wielding it.
