Meanwhile, the Tory Party’s self-destriuction continues. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45488136It was going to destroy itself one way or another over the EU anyway - the idea that holding a referendum would somehow stop that from happening was a massive miscalculation by Cameron. Less than 200 days, and the Tories could well be distracted by a leadership challenge in that time. AND there may well be another General Election.

Labour are in world of pain, all self inflicted, and will continue along the same path for some time ...

Agreed. It’s criminal that our opposition party can’t even live up to the job title. Apart from the usual anti-semetic problems, Labour is, I feel, playing the 5 year waiting game. It seems to me that they are waiting for the Tories to implode, and instead of capitalising on the mountains of ammo that has been handed to them by senior Tory members, they are sitting back, waving through the Brexit plans, and doing very little else. I suspect that they don’t want to be seen to be against the Brexit process ”because democracy”. Had they no other issues, then they should be taken to part for not scrutinising the government more. As it stands, they’ve created a lovely (wholly preventable) distraction for themselves, and indeed us, which will no doubt return to haunt them big time when the next election is called.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45520517Note the key “narrowly voted”. Anyway, lots of graphs, all pretty much showing an increased dissatisfaction with the process, those running it, and the projected outcomes.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... ard-brexitBMW, Opel have also issued similar warnings. https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... land-roverThis isn’t “project fear”. This is businesses seeing the problems for what they genuinely are, and making plans to reduce the impact on them. I’d trust the people who build cars to know how their operations work over some minister on a 5 year contract.

Got an appointment for Eingürgerung next week. Will see what I have to do to get German citizenship.
If it is completed by the end of March, I can probably keep dual citizenship.

I thought Germany didn't allow dual citizenship.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

It is allowed for EU ciitzens. The question is, whether the dual status remains after the Brexit is finished.
Edit: And Turkey is a special case. There are around 1.5 million dual citizenship Turkish people in Germany. It is causing problems at the moment, because they are very pro-Erdogan and Erdogan is very big on building Mosques in Germany "for his people".
