It pains me that the British think, mistakenly in my view, that going their own way will give them more options when making future arrangements. Many people are now afraid that Brexit will be the beginning of the end for Europe. Does this worry you too?
Of course it worries me, because I’m such a firm believer in Europe and in the benefits that it brings. But I am basically an optimist and I think that Brexit has in fact brought the other countries closer together. But the United Kingdom is not an isolated case. There are nationalist movements in some other European countries too.
