Understand, as far as "conventional" EU politicians go, the ideal would be for the UK to sink under the waves as soon as Brexit finishes. Nothing personal, but that is what you've voted for, for the UK misfortune to be mainstream EU politicians gain.
A living example of just what it means to leave the EU.
They probably won't push for it, because "sink the UK" is actually hard to do, and there are negatives to the EU from it, but for the politicians facing challenges from "Brexit" opponents, a live example would do swell...
I'm not optimistic at all, I expect no deal and both sides getting what they truly want, a scapegoat on the other side for why things aren't doing as well as they should.
Still, your newspapers have been blaming the EU for everything for who knows how long now, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, as the English say, yes?
