if the bavarian branch of her party will not back out she might not even last this month
the situation is very confusing right now, its reported that the minister of the interior, seehofer, is planning to resign
if that happens merkel will continue to do whatever she wants
i do hope they will hold their ground
update
they really did it again, all this drama and all we get is a compromise between merkel and seehofer
the plan is now to have transit zones at the border, where migrants wouldnt be allowed to leave, get their procedure and in case they are rejected--->deportation
sounds nice, but we all know this will never work
especially the part about detaining these migrants
long story short, huge for drama for nothing and things will go on just like they do now
now the upcoming bavarian elections will probably be really painful, the csu and seehofer have lost all of their remaining credibility
the clock is still ticking for merkel

An amazing deal for the UK would compound the EU's own failures and other countries could follow us as a result, and they know that. The EU has to punish us to assert their authority.
While EU member states like Germany and France will be negatively impacted by a no deal brexit, the proportion of their trade with the UK is far smaller than the UK's trade with the EU as a bloc, which is a key factor. We may import 50% of goods from the EU but it's spread across several countries and therefore reduces the economic risk to the EU.
the EU will collapse either way, you guys just need to watch and be sure to come out on top
