I think (believe is different) that both men have the interests of their countries at heart. And for me that is primarily economic interests. You may have different preferences of course but the average Italian does not give a toss about "sovereignty" . They may dislike certain foreigners and their reasons are better than the British. They have over a million illegal immigrants living inter streets, literally. Many of thos e mediated by organized crime. Italians.

Frost is a diplomat. He acted on instructions and had to represent an idiotic project. Can you blame him for that. In his new role he will have more discretion as long as the same idiots leave him alone.

Draghi does not represent a political party, he is a technocrat. Macron commands a majority in Parliament and would beat LePen in a runoff.

But they are patriots interested in decent government. Not saboteurs.

The Italians and French are well aware of the disbenefits of leaving. Le Pen and Salvini still represent minorities.

Those economic benefits will be very modest. I rteckon the other members will benefit more from British accession than the UK will do. Otherwise they would not agree. This is the least sentimental trade group in the world. I wonder how agriculture and related issues will be resolved. The agreement is less controversial after the US left though. I think it is more of a propaganda thing than of immediate real value to the UK. Long term it could be intersting but long term the EU will have and agreement with it like with Mercosur. Making the Uk redundant.

Are you sure ? "We have left the EU" I think it is the other way around: the EU has left the UK to stew in its own juice. Frost may be the right choice for improving the present (very poor) deal.
