Brexit would weaken UK and EU power
Britain’s withdrawal from the EU is a lose-lose proposition that would diminish the strength of both Britain and Europe, said Thorsten Benner on the Al Jazeera program Inside Story on April 23. Brexit, when fully negotiated and carried out, would not be an attractive model to follow for other EU countries, and the success of the “out” camp would embolden populist forces on the continent, according to Benner.
