The German paper WAZ collects reactions from politicians and economists to the Tories’ loss of their majority in parliament.
German EU budget commissioner Günther Oettinger told journalists he expects Brexit to go ahead without delay.
The economist Michael Heise sees smaller chances of a hard Brexit, which would be good for businesses. In a coalition, the Tories would be weaker in negotiations with Brussels. German Family Affairs Minister Katarina Barley says that with their vote against the Tories, Brits have sent a clear signal that they oppose the idea of a hard Brexit. Left-wing politician Gregor Gysi says the result proves that social equality is becoming important to voters, and that the future UK government will need to come to terms with what the other half of the population wants.
