Germans are more satisfied with the EU following Britain’s vote to leave, according to the monthly ARD-Deutschlandtrend poll, carried out by political research institute Infratest Dimap.

Fifty-two percent said that membership of the bloc has more advantages than disadvantages; this figure stood at 46 percent on June 24th, the day after Britain’s vote to leave, and 39 percent on June 21st leading up to the referendum. The poll has put the same question to voters regularly; back in 1999, just 20 percent had answered that the advantages of membership outweigh the disadvantages. […]

Of course they do! Nigel Farage will no longer be in the EU Parliament to expose Juncker and Schulz’s ham handed tactics.

Germans would prefer that the meddling come from Berlin. Germans see the EU as Germany under a different name. EU über alles.

Germany will just continue being beaten by the British. They never really much cared for democracy to be honest. It was one of the reasons why the Weimar Republic collapsed so quickly.
