If Germans get their way, Westminster will have it tough in Brexit talks. Photo: DPAA survey of European opinion on Brexit negotiations released on Friday by the research group RED C showed that Germans want a harder line from the EU towards Britain than other nationals. A total of 80 percent of German respondents said the negotiations should focus on protecting the remaining 27 members of the EU. The RED C survey shows that European governments will have the full support of their citizenries if they follow a tough path in Brexit talks, as initial signs suggest. An overwhelming 92 percent said that protecting the 27 remaining states’ interest was a priority.
