    It probably has the best translation tooling. On top of that, they even learn it as their second language.

    But I don’t think that’s a major factor. The UK always had special privileges within the EU and was probably just the most susceptible major country for the idea of leaving.

      This is what is frustrating to me. There were always loads of news articles saying how the EU were making us do something or preventing us from doing something else. They ignored the fact that the UK was involved in all of those decisions and had a greater influence over them than many other EU member states.
