1. I'd put more faith in Germany than the UK

The UK economy is sideways (mostly self inflicted) and I feel like Reform has a real chance of winning at some point. There’s a real frustration throughout the country over everything, which is very similar to here before Trump took over. Angry and frustrated voters often fall for demagogues.

Remember Brexit paved the way for the current path of stupidity we have seen, including Trump.

I know why Macron is saying what he’s saying but I think France and Germany have likely discussed a UK going the same direction as the US.
