From
a European perspective, Brexit is the leading issue of 2018. At least for many
EU leaders and British politicians that spent a great deal of the year discussing
the matter. It has also been the key theme for people who comment on EU affairs.
Including for myself, as it was recurrent subject in my weekly radio programmes.
It
is not yet clear, as the old year comes to its conclusion, what will be the
final act of such a political drama. Is it to end as a Shakespearean tragedy?
Or, are we going to watch a final scene inspired by Mr Bean’s approach to film-making?
It’s
quite interesting to end the year with such a dilemma in the air. But the
matter is extremely serious, and it will dominate a good chunk of the coming
year’s political agenda. Clarity should therefore be the word to wish for the
New Year. But, like so many wishes, this one might also end up unfulfilled.
