No rational person would claim that the EU wanted brexit... The referendum was an election promise. Farage style claims of arrogance are unfounded....no more than applying regulations unanimously agreed. Propaganda and hatred did the rest.
Accusing me of constant name calling is to totally ignore the silly and pointless ad hominem attacks on valid points, you should be a moderator.
Your point about facts, reason, socialists, federalists and failure shows lack of research. The only failure is in your understanding. The EU are doing their absolute best to avoid a no deal because the consequences can be clearly seen as harmful to everyone. Those wanting to inflict maximum damage for some erroneous reasons are simply vandals...cutting off noses to spite their face. Although the EU will fair better than Britain perhaps "it will be worth it" as a means of realisation.
Again, more cleverly worded half-truths.
I agree that the EU did not want Brexit. They have lost a huge amount of money, been humiliated on the world stage, lost a huge amount of soft-power, lost an important political balancing factor (it’s no coincidence that the Visigard Group and the Frugal Four have become more proactive since 2016), lost ~12% of its population, disrupted the long march, exposed the venality of those with power and (more importantly) created a huge amount of unexpected, unwanted and very messy additional work that has spoilt no end of previously pleasurable long and expensive lunches.
All this could have been avoided if they had just been flexible and responsive to public opinion...
I agree that you don’t do “constant name calling”; it’s actually “frequent” rather than “constant”. Semantics aside, you do come across as a pretty hate-fuelled desperate individual, howling at the moon.
As for the “no more than applying regulations unanimously agreed”, well, again, it is factually correct. You just leave out the inconvenient fact that the unanimity is a result of the structural design of the various EU institutions and what they are allowed to do. Dissent is squashed, counter-views are steamrolled, choice is denied, the population has no voice, and the only result allowed is ”more power to the Commission today” or “more power to the Commission tomorrow”.
I disagree with your view that the EU are doing their best to avoid a “no deal”: they are doing their best to screw the UK over as much as they can, and one of their tactics (and, vice versa, ours) will be to risk a “No Deal”. It was said (shortly after the referendum) that the EU decided Northern Ireland was the price the UK would have to pay for Brexit, and we have seen since then that the EU has tried to annex part of the UK. That is not the action of a organisation that is trying to avoid “No Deal”; it’s a huge and unacceptable provocation designed to ensure a binary choice from the UK: agree to foreign overlordship of part of the UK, or no deal.
