No, Julia. The humiliating thing is that it's impossible to imagine our politicians doing it back. Even in French.

Tony Blair? Nick Clegg?

Julia, serious question - What would have to happen for you to admit
#Brexit was a mistake? -
Democracy is never a mistake.
-
Godwins Law of course, and not comparable to Brexit (just a point re this notion of democracy never being wrong) but in 1933, the Nazis won power with the largest share of the vote. I say not comparable, interestingly it was 17,277,180 people.

Actually, no single party held a majority through ‘32-33. Hitler was appointed chancellor with the support of industry. Power was cemented through emergency powers later used to abolish opposition parties. Only SD resisted in Reichstag.
-
They still were the largest party, even in 1932, with 11 million. The "democracy is never a mistake" idea - and btw, I think it's very rarely a mistake - still applies, they had massive popular support.

Yes, Hitler rose to power in a democratic system but within a year he used violence to dismantle that democracy and became a dictator. Had democracy persisted in Germany, he would have been stopped, no?

True story. The only reason it is an official lanaguage of the EU is because the Irish asked to have it. The British just assumed it would be.

Language, even.

Pretty sure French is spoken more widely than English so that would be the one true international language
-
It’s English by a pretty significant margin.
-
I could be totally wrong but thought it was French
-
Nope. Most total speakers is English, most native speakers is Mandarin. Spanish is the number two European language in both, then French.
-
Though there might even be more native Spanish speakers than English at this point.
