Ursula von der Leyen, was invited to meet King Charles III at Windsor Castle this past week to be dubbed a “World Leader”. This came after she finally reached an agreement with Rishi Sunak, the prime minister, on how to handle issues pertaining to Northern Ireland, and how it would be included in the Brexit deal and not cause any sort of conflict with where the border would be placed. So for the first time in 3 years, it is easier to envision. Mr. Sunak is the fifth prime minister since the referendum of Brexit, which shows that it has been no small task, nor easy to deal with. Ms von der Leyen by contrast is just the second person in her job in the time since Brexit was first announced, and will probably get another five-year term next spring. On top of this, most Brits agree that Brexit was a bad idea, and wish that it would not have happened.
In the article it states that no country in the EU could honestly think that they would be better off by leaving. This is a debate that was brought up in class about Greece. Joining the EU was tough for Greece because they were not ready to be on the same playing field as Germany with the same currency. So although it was not that easy for Greece to join, I will agree that they could not be better off by leaving as this article states because they would have a very rapid inflation and lose currency value. Every person would run to take their money out of the bank, and banks would fail.
