I worry about the direction of the U.K. and U.K. politics and governance in the event of a Brexit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are going to have to discuss with and seek the opinions of other countries. We don't wish to offend anyone, least of all a country we hold in such deep regard as the United Kingdom.
It does not seem to me that the steps which would be needed to make Britain - and others - more comfortable in their relationship in the European Union are inherently so outlandish or unreasonable.
We have to be extremely strict on the implementation of Brexit so there is a common approach between member states. We must avoid a sector-by-sector or country-by-country approach, and ask the U.K. to be clear.
There is a real danger of the United Kingdom breaking up. There is a loss of common identity.
I believe the United Kingdom will be worse off outside the E.U. It will not have the influence it has in the world today.
The U.K. and Ireland are like-minded on E.U. matters, and the process of working together in Brussels has built an immense store of knowledge, personal relationships, and trust between our governments.
I personally hope and wish that Britain will stay part and parcel of the European Union.
I hope Britain stays in the European Union, but I don't want to decide for the British.
I am attached to a strict approach to Brexit: I respect the British vote, but the worst thing would be a sort of weak E.U. vis-a-vis the British.
I would like a UK fully engaged in Europe, but I can't decide in place of the British. I see that for the moment they want to be more in retreat.
