Comment: Brexit? Keep calm and carry on

The EU should Britain during the summit in Brussels not to blackmail. If the British want to go, then you should just go. Your resignation would not be the end of the Union, says Bernd Riegert.

“What calls you, so your in the EU can stay.?”, ask EU Council President Donald Tusk, British Prime Minister David Cameron. His answer: “you must allow us to do so, as if we were not in the EU.” This dialogue is a joke from a magazine in Brussels. It shows the whole Dilemma of the Brexit debate and contains much Truth.

The UK is a member of a club. This club has rules that must be followed to the pleasant pages of the membership to enjoy. One is with the objectives and rules of the club do not agree, leaves you just. In the European Union is no different. If the Brits, the rules of the game no longer want to obey, then let it go.

EU is a voluntary club with rules

The UK has like any other member state, the rules are shaped and agreed. The British Parliament has agreed. The Oh-so-proud Britons by the EU is nothing imposed on. Who is to act collectively will have on small parts of its sovereignty, waive. Otherwise, the System does not. And for all club members the same rules apply.

The claim of the British Prime Minister “the Best of both worlds”, i.e. membership of the EU, and British independence, to secure, therefore, is simply presumptuous and rude. Any other member state could also claim for themselves. A breakup of the Union would be guaranteed.

The UK and the EU for the sake of peace far-reaching concessions offered. This is a mistake. The EU makes himself susceptible to blackmail. Who is to say that the next government in London in five years, not back to the idea, with a domestic motvierten Referendum rebellious exceptions to the Klubregeln claim? David Cameron says so himself, that he Britain in the EU wants to keep, but the EU skeptics in his own party in check. The Referendum has a lot of campaigning and Parteitaktik to do, to the detriment of the EU and the end of the British.

No one is forcing the UK

The British have always been a little different. Right. So enjoy already a number of exceptions, the so-called opt-outs from rules in the justice and home Affairs. You are neither a member of the Schengen zone is still a member of the Euro-Zone. You will receive a discount on your membership fees.

If all this is not enough and a majority of British voters in fact, the populist Swagger of the opponents of the EU want to follow, then please let them drag.

The withdrawal of the United Kingdom would of course be a great loss for the Union, especially the British, despite all the criticism, a large net payer. Also, the political weight of the EU in the world would be without UK safe fall. But the loss to the UK would be much greater, economically and politically. Therefore, you can be confident that at the end of reason and insight will triumph, and the British remain on Board.

Please check off

The British have to Europe not love. Do other States also do not. But you should know that it reforms in a club not with the brute-force can force.

It is at this summit a paper, the British promises much, in practice, have little impact and the least amount of voters actually read. The main thing David Cameron can at home as a winner.

But after the Show, should the EU is the really important problems on the agenda: Migrationskrise, in relation to Turkey and the economic situation in Europe.
