In the days before the vote, I bet that the British would stay in the EU.

Ms. Merkel is avoiding retirement issues. She simply doesn't want to do anything, although she knows that doing nothing means that real pensions will fall. That is preprogrammed old-age poverty. When it comes to wage fairness: It was Ms. Merkel herself who blocked the establishment of a right to return to a fulltime job after going part time for a period. Yet everyone keeps saying that our platform is identical to that of the conservatives. It's crazy.

Britain, Europe's second largest economy, a member of the G-7 and the UN Security Council, wants to leave the EU. That weakens us and it weakens Britain.

Having a place to live is a fundamental right and the state must establish a framework that ensures that apartments are affordable.

It is courageous to occasionally admit that there are certain things one can't do.

If we no longer judge the content of people's actions, but merely their form, then we are entering dangerous times indeed.

Primary responsibility for Brexit lies with British conservatives, who took an entire continent hostage.
