the people around who will be europol is not chief negotiators are saying this is a good thing becauseong leader with a strong, clear positive mandate from the british people because of visions of brexit will have been put to voters, discussed and debated and decided on. the bottom line for europe is that whoever wins, they feel they are ready. while this is all rumbling along in british electoral law texts, on this side of the channel they are preparing for those negotiations, working in great detail, war—gaming for all sorts of negotiating options, and their bottom line is whoever wins the european side will be ready. in a sense, the election does not make any difference because they always stop at the timetable for talks would begin sometime about early june and they don't see any reason why this election timetable will change that. do you sense any toughening of the mood there in getting all 27 singing from the same hymn sheet and taking britain on in a way that they feel they will benefit from? there is no question that setting the election question aside for the moment, but that
