The EU Brexit negotiating tactics are akin to a carload of fifties dragsters playing ‘chicken’ having floored the accelerator and disposed of the steering wheel out of the car window.

In a piece for Think Scotland earlier this week, Miles Saltiel gives us a view of how difficult these Brexit negotiations are for the European Union side, when compared to the UK’s position. Not something that is apparent if you just listen to the pro-EU types.

In his article titled: ‘How to see through the smoke and mirrors of Brexit negotiations’ the author explains that, although the UK has difficulties trying to keep devolved institutions, consumers, producers, service users and providers etc on board, it is much harder for the EU when you consider it has to keep the hydra headed 27 member state bloc on side and on message.

And I do like his description of the EU position papers “…..as though the steering-wheel thrown out of the car by fifties dragsters playing ‘Chicken’.” And you can imagine the outcome of that sort of tactic!

The article takes you through the negotiating scenario, showing how each side has or might try to take advantage and win a point here or there. From trying to wrong foot the other side to the well practise use of smoke and mirrors by the EU which, says the author, it is constitutionally well suited to.

The article also points out that Barnier’s insistence on the negotiations being conducted in rounds of a week talking and three weeks off while he reports back and gives the Commission time to get an agreed response, shows how fragile EU unity really is.

I’ve left a link to the article in the description box below, please do make the time to read it, then come back and let us know what you think by leaving a comment below.
