British “Brexit” parties have different attitudes, differences in the EU widen
While the parties are holding intensive talks in the hope of saving the “Brexit” trade negotiations, the outside world has realized that the EU has been cracked because of this.

EU countries, including Denmark, are concerned that Barnier, the main Brexit negotiator, is preparing to make too many concessions in the negotiations. In contrast, the countryside of Germany, Ireland and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe defended a more moderate stance towards Great Britain.
The British “Times” said that if there is no progress in the negotiations.

In this regard, Cui Hongjian said that the differences between the EU and the EU have a long history of Britain’s “Brexit” and whether the two sides can come to an agreement and separate decently before the end of 2020. He believes that the two parties are still arguing, indicating that there is hope, and the final agreement. The form depends on whether the two parties can reach a compromise. If there really is no agreement on “Brexit”, it will have a huge impact on both parties, so everyone is looking for a “last minute compromise”. But Cui Hongjian stressed that no matter what the outcome is, the current “rift” between the two sides is not “decent.”
