Actually, the key reason for the quick idea is that French elections (the presidential election is spring of 2017 and the parliament election is the summer of 2017) are coming up.
If this goes to one full year (which experts say is necessary)....it will have a significant affect on the election and likely bring right-wing politics into the spectrum.
The Netherlands has the same problem...spring election in 2017.
And in Germany....three German states will have elections in the March to May period.
Interesting, didn’t know that, and that explains the sudden swing.
Perhaps the European leaders are getting a little nervous?
After all European history shows us when this happens it’s not a good thing for their leaders.
