RE: The eurozone gears up for a fight
Here in the Netherlands, nobody is talking about Nexit anymore. We can see that Brexit is going to be a shit-show. Rutte himself has become more pro-European; he's now calling the EU a community of shared values rather than just a trading block.
I'm sure there will be a compromise, like a medium-sized budget that's not called a budget.
What if Brexit goes well though?
Would the Dutch be tempted to join the Brits and save their EU contributions?
We don't even know what kind of Brexit the UK wants, while there's less than a year to go. We don't know how they'll solve the Irish border dilemma.
At the end of the day, the EU contributions are peanuts compared to the amount of trade with the EU. We're not an island.
