Globale Trends: Das Brexit-Tabu ist gebrochen: Großbritannien erlebt eine neue EU-Debatte
Im Vereinigten Königreich wird wieder lebhaft über die Rückkehr in die Europäische Union gestritten. Aber auch Brüssel, Berlin und Paris müssen sich unangenehme Fragen stellen.
In the United Kingdom, "Budget Day" is a national event where citizens gather in pubs and banks to watch the annual budget speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and speculate on its implications for their wallets. This year, expectations were high, as Chancellor Andy Burnham had promised a new approach to economic policy. However, the announcement fell short of expectations.
Conservative opposition leader Kemi Badenoch criticized the budget, saying, "The Prime Minister promised to end 40 years of neoliberalism and instead gave us a four-pence discount on curry." Despite the budget containing over 100 individual measures, it lacks a clear economic strategy for growth. It remains unclear how Burnham intends to overcome Britain's chronic growth weakness.
His only promise of a "new beginning" points towards Europe. Consequently, the national conversation this week has shifted from the budget to the possibility of the United Kingdom returning to the EU.
