It must have been a difficult choice but I think Britain made a good decision. EU has a lot of complicated problems within and Britain wants not involved in them and wants to go their own way.

Yeah, absolutely. Making sure all the hardline Brexiteers named in the Panama Paradise Papers can continue to avoid taxes once new EU legislation drops is absolutely a good reason to trick the masses into helping them.

The EU has innumerable internal problems, not least a failed currency that has so many cracks papered over it is a miracle os spin it still exists. A deeply anti-democratic elite and wholly unrepresentative structures that progressively are driving people across Europe in to the arms of extreme or populist parties to name but two.

"Make sure you have an orderly exit, Boris-san!"
Great advice! I wonder what Boris's advice for Abe might be? "Keep pushing for the return of the Northern Territories, Shinzo!"

The best ask, as simple as that.

Yeah, because Abe asking will certainly make it happen. I love how Abe pretends he has any power on the international stage and in other countries' domestic problems while he demands others stay out of Japan's (unless it's praise).

So was the US under articles of confederation. EU needs whiskey rebellion to become a real federal parliamentary democracy. And please reduce the size of parliament.
My reform ideas:
54 member unicameral parliament where half is 1 MP per country, half is 27 at large by party. Proportional representation. Give everyone a chance to talk.
7-member cabinet from parliament by coalition.
Euro court is Supreme constitutional court
Inspector General as head of state.

And unless it's from the US of A!
Abe, the obedient puppy dog does everything his American masters tell him!

Abe san doesn’t understand Johnson is hell bent on a no-deal Brexit.

"Orderly" is a concept utterly foreign to England's disorderly Johnson, but Abe need not fear because the discombobulated Boris is about to fall on his Brexit. Simply put, the UK just cannot afford such a ruinous divorce from Europe. The unicorns have already bolted (but don't tell those benighted Tories and the pathetic little Englander kippers).

Okay then, break up the US. TEXIT, VERMONXIT, CALIFORXIT, etc. Some don't care for my American analogy above in relation to EU.

The Abe Government would never conceive belonging, politically or economically to a Union that entailed vital democracy sovereign decision making processes are unilaterally dictated without the agreement or mandate from the people of Japan.
J-Businesses has benefited for more than forty years on their investment in UK competitive economic environment. Adapt to change or join the European Union, I am saw Brussels welcome Japan with open arms.
