The longer Germany waits, the more other parties and especially AfD will gain. There's a lot of resentment to her immigration policy. Germans aren't super-friendly to foreigners, you just have to look at the history of the Turkish community.

I wouldn't say they aren't super friendly. If you take the time and integrate they will find time for you. What they don't like (goes for most countries really) are people who live in their country and expect the natives to change to suit them

what's weird about the obr forecast is the economy has done better, the tax take was higher. so why choose now to downgrade unless its a political move.....

with no austerity in the uk and the uk investing more in infrastructure than anyone else in the eu something doesn't add up.....

forecasts are always wrong.....

Here is why she is wrong and why you are wrong: More delusions on the Irish border (Financial Times).

It seems unlikely to be resolved.  The proposed govt solution is unworkable. The DUP will collapse the Conservative govt if the border is effectively moved to the coast since that would mean the north of Ireland being treated differently from the UK. But the DUP position is illogical since they also oppose a hard  border. And they are pro Brexit despite the north having voted significantly in favour of remaining part of the EU.

The growing assumption in the City is that the Conservative govt will collapse sometime during 2018 - brought down by its own side as it finally becomes obvious that Brexit is not achievable and that the only sensible solution is for the UK as a whole to remain within the Single Market. Bit by bit, support for Brexit is declining. Sooner or later that will hit critical mass. The govt has made a terrible mess of it.
