Brexit will be painful - but for the EU rather than Britain
 

Says Holger Steltzner, the editor of Germany's conservative Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung.

He warns that tariffs on British goods would "hit the EU harder, because
of our larger budget deficits", and the City of London would still be
competitive as the "world's greatest financial centre".

Why did you pick that particular quote out of the many in that article?

Is Holger Steltzner a God of some sort?


Perhaps you didn't notice Liberation's piece?


"If Britain aims to be 'Singapore across the Channel', then World Trade
Organisation rules will apply. But if London wants a deal, then the EU
faces the challenge of devising a status that doesn't encourage other
member-states to act like the British," and opt to leave, the editorial
says.

In other words, will the EU be a turkey voting for Xmas?

The EUSSR needs total reform.
Including abandoning "Ever closer union".

Brexit will be the catalyst to make it happen.

But if the other states prefer to have just a single market without
freedom of movement then why should they be forced to remain with a
structure they don't want purely for the sake of an ideology?
