The exit of the UK will leave a hole of around 14 Bio. € in the EU budget.
Common sense would tell you that if a country is leaving the EU, the budget will have to decline and that there should be savings.
But it seems Germany, France, Italy and Co. still want to increase the budget, despite a huge country like the UK leaving the union.
A rogue, rebellious group of countries such as Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden etc. (who are all net-contributors to the EU budgets) want savings and are not willing to pay a single cent more to the budget after the UK leaves.)

What do you think ?
I'm obviously a supporter of group A. The EU and its Eurocrats are a wasteful black hole that are desperately in need of savings.
When a country leaves the EU, its revenue also declines so there are no savings.
Lost revenue doesn't mean you can not cut the budget. Whether there "are" savings depend on the decisions made by the member states.
