Britain leaving the EU means trouble ahead for Germany — and its hardest task will be convincing the Brits to drop a self-defeating ideology, a leading foreign policy expert told The Local.

German business has a lot of vested interest in British markets, explains Josef Janning, head of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) in Berlin.

And that means Germany will have its work cut out negotiating a settlement which gives Britain access to the single market after it leaves the European Union. […]

Like teenagers need to make adults come to their senses?
Like women need to make men come to their senses?
Like atheists need to make Christians come to their senses?
Like gays need to make straights come to their senses?

Or, like Brits and Yanks made Germans come to their senses?

WW I was the UK feeling that Germany was getting too strong.

The last time Germany had a spat with England, it didn't end well...especially for the Germans.

Why do pro-EU people say leaving the EU is a “self-defeating ideology?”

There's absolutely nothing to back such assertions, except hot air.

“Since when did free voluntary trade between two people or two countries require kowtowing to the European Parliament and its bureaucrats?”

Exactly. I was about to post that thought.

Germany needs to shove Angela and her party into the Fuhrer bunker and forcefully move ALL Muslims out of Deutschland!

Germany needs to get a grip on it's own immigration policy and hemorrhaging culture before it tries to "make" Britain do anything.

Exactly. All Britain needs to do is wait a few years until Germany collapses under Muslim flames, and then negotiate German trade deals directly with the new German masters in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran and Syria.

Germany is worried that they will have to fund the other failed socialist states all by themselves.

All of the pro-EU types are socialists. That is why they force a “social market economy” on the member states by treaty. All anti-socialist ideas are “self-defeating” even if they are not.
