Eu parliament roasted for behaving like children with brexit threats

The Danish MEP also took the EU to task, as he said the only thing the eurocrats would achieve if it tried to slap the UK with a bad deal, is to pave the way for other members to leave.  He

said: “And all this talk about thinking you can discourage other people from leaving by punishing a country which chose to leave, I think will only give a greater resolve to people who

already think the European Union is a failed project.  “That sentiment is why I think it is very difficult to take the European Parliament seriously in these negotiations if they don’t get a

bit more realistic about their role and a bit more constructive in thinking about how do we shape a good future relationship with Britain.  “We are spending way too much time talking about

the Brexit negotiations, they are important but the most important thing is what about the future? How are we shaping a reality where we can still be good friends, neighbours, allies?” Mr

Vistisen also urged the bloc to see sense and reconsider using Brexit as an excuse to push for a common EU army as he said it would be a “bad signal” to send to Europe’s allies.  He added:

“Especially on the security front, I think we are jeopardising a very special relationship with the Britain.  “Britain is the biggest security guarantor in Europe and Britain and America

have been the transatlantic link in Nato. All these ideas of a common European army is to a certain extent a very bad reaction to Brexit.” The Danish MEP said there was a growing concern

leaders in Brussels could scupper negotiations with Mrs May to further its own agenda.  "IT'S DISGUSTING" SWEDEN DEMOCRATS BLAST EU OVER BREXIT BILL “From central Europe to

Scandinavia - we like our… good relations with Britain in regards to security,” he said.  “We like our good relations with the Americans so we are very afraid of a European army being pushed

in the aftermaths of Brexit.  “I think it would be a very damaging situation when we have a very unstable situation in the middle east, a very aggressive Russia on our frontiers.  “It is a

very bad signal to send to our Nato allies, and more importantly our allies in the UK, Canada and US, but also countries such as Norway who are in Nato but outside the EU.”
