Alex Forrest Whiting is a DW reporter and former Westminster political correspondent. She says: "Too many British politicians have seen Brexit as a battle against a European Empire in which the ‘plucky’ Brits would triumph. The reality is very different and it’s now hard to see if there will be any winners at all."

Jon Worth lives in Berlin and is a blogger, political adviser and member of the Green party. He says: "No one likes May’s deal. And Britain leaving the EU with no deal is not an option either -- neither for the UK nor for the EU. So better a second referendum and no Brexit!"
