Don't expect Merkel to save Britain's Brexit bacon

Merkel is not ready to listen too much to German car manufacturers or other industries with a high rate of exports to the UK. Relations between big business in Germany and the chancellery are pretty dire. This sombre analysis is shared by Charles Grant, director of the CER, in his recent paper 'Why the 27 are taking a hard line on Brexit'.
Belgian Walloons yield on EU-Canada deal under pressure, but sorry saga is a warning for Britain
27 October 2016
The Telegraph
Simon Tilford from the Centre for European Reform said the lesson of Ceta is that any future deal between the EU and Britain could be held up by any country, for any reason.
"It is going to take a lot longer to negotiate a deal after Brexit than people seem to think, and ratification is not going to be plain-sailing," he said.
"The small states can always be strong-armed but the real problem is the internal politics of Italy, France and Spain. Trade has become a political minefield," he said.

Britain's mixed messages deepen Brexit rifts with EU
27 October 2016
The Daily Mail
A central problem for May's government is that Article 50 puts the country that is exiting the EU in a position of great weakness, says Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, a think tank in London. EU countries can simply hunker down while the two-year clock ticks away, raising pressure on the leaver. May, therefore, would be wise to avoid an approach that alienates the EU, Grant believes. Attempts from the British side to strengthen its negotiating position through veiled threats to slash corporate tax rates or veto European defence cooperation risk backfiring.

“Whereas some member-states may share Poland and Hungary’s reluctance about the current balance of power in the EU, they think that the current Polish-Hungarian rhetoric is not particularly helpful in addressing EU's challenges,” points out Agata Gostyńska-Jakubowska, a research fellow at the CER. “Member-states also fear that Kaczynski and Orban are interested in questioning the current system of Western liberalism rather than in the constructive debate about a better and more efficient EU.”

Poparcie dla Tuska ze strony starych państw Unii może też opierać się o pozytywne przesłanki. - Większość starych krajów Unii po prostu uważa, że Tusk sprawdził się jako przewodniczący RE – mówi Agata Gostyńska-Jakubowska z brytyjskiego think tanku Centre for European Reform. - Były obawy, że aktywny styl prowadzenia obrad RE, zupełnie inny niż za van Rompuy'a, nie przyjmie się. Tusk od początku nie ukrywał swojego zdania, nie był tylko moderatorem, często zabierał głos. Dziś wielu uczestników tych obrad taki styl uznaje za zaletę.
