I am not a fan of Brexit. I would not have voted to leave the EU. There is a contradiction here since I’ve never believed in the marriage of peoples who fundamentally don’t much like each other and have not that much in common.

The  U.K. should never have joined. The Norwegian route would have made more sense. Having been allowed into the Club, exiting was bound to come with a curse. After all, who wants to leave a Club that will have me?

To my mind, the curse is obvious. His name is Jean-Claude Juncker. There has never been the slightest sign of his being a pragmatic negotiator. Rather, he appears to have all the characteristics of a bureaucrat.

It is the bureaucracy of the EU which will lead to its eventual downfall. Before that day comes to pass there will be a lot of uncertainty and pain for the UK. Is it too late to stop the exit and turn everyone’s mind to renegotiating the EU structure? No doubt sidelining Mr Juncker.
