Wouldn't that make Macron the obvious choice?
Macron not getting to the second round would kill any parliamentary election dynamic he could have hoped to get which would be good for Sarkozy(and Hamon and Valls and everyone who hate Macron guts which is a lot).

The crazies are the "sense commun" (common sense) movement, the antigay ultra catholics who zerged the republican party's primary to get Fillon elected. It's the current form of the "une manif pour tous" movement.

Someone on the news is shocked that everyone she knows who supported Sarkozy has switched to Melenchon. I'm kinda shocked too; where's the crossover?

I assume it's because Melenchon looks and sound the most presidential, which is a very important thing for them?

Breaking it how? Unless the UK leaving meant Trump would pull the US out too, it'd just mean the Americans would lose their fifth column in Europe.

It is only sensible that the UK has to be in Euro, given that most of the obligations are denominated in Euro too and given the new election calendar in the UK, I don't think the exit bill will be a major hurdle in the negotiations. Through this early election May's fate will depend on the mid to long term ramifications of the Brexit deal and not the exit bill.

No. The UK decided to leave, why should the rest of the EU pony up for our staff to fly over there, do the negotiations etc.? You break it, you buy the short-term consequences while we discuss the big exit bill.

The EU is fundamentally a vassal state of the US and should really not have any illusions about that. The US and UK are much closer then the US is to continental Europe and the current administration is particularly sympathetic to Brexit. The EU trying to play hardball is incredibly shortsighted as to their actual position in the world

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Well, the US is trying to change that. And apparently the UK decided self-destruction is just too much fun to be left out

Tell what "playing hardball" means in this context and what is the alternative? Like, say, the agency thing - is that hardball?

quote:

Back in early 2007, both scholarly and elite conventional wisdom agreed on the following. The ongoing multilateral Doha round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) was going to take some time to negotiate, but it would be completed in the not too distant future. The world economy was blessed by a ‘Great Moderation’ in volatility wrought by the technocratic competence of independent central bankers. The euro was going to be the new international reserve currency of choice and a beacon of monetary stability. Further economic and political integration was still the choice for Europe despite temporary setbacks around the adoption of a proposed constitutional treaty. The IMF looked like it would soon have to shut down its operations because there were no more financial crises lurking around the corner. The ‘BRICs’ were going to substantially increase their overall clout in global economic governance. And finally, international migration flows would only continue to intensify. So what actually happened?

Considering how the Brits think Brexit will strengthen their economy and currency, denominating any payments to the EU in € is actually the opposite of playing hardball. :v:
