Brits are happy to help everyone. "I'm sure we can spare Mr.s Kitchener and Rhodes, along with a few gunboats, wot wot?"
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

The Minsky Moment

The Romanians seem very generous.

Bad sign for the UK that the Netherlands is net negative.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Note that the poll was done in April. IIRC that was during a time when Germany was cagy about a financial Covid response, especially towards Italy, which caused major disappointment in the country.

The Greeks' antypathy for Germany seems to be deep rooted at this point.

Cue the V for Varoufakis song.

Also, Hungary seems to be all over the place.

Still neutral to the Netherlands though who I think were far worse which makes me think it's a little more deep-rooted. Not near Greece-Germany but maybe in that direction.

If they sweetened the deal with Gibraltar, maybe...  :shifty:

In any case the UK seems to be quite universaly disliked, and even amongst the ones that'd support it, the numbers aren't exactly spectacular.

Quite a weird set of results.

And Belgium...and Finland...and Luxembourg...

But very pro-Nigerian.

Everyone should legitimately hate Luxembourg - enablers of massive tax-dodging and if they've got a real crisis they should just join France <_<
