Die Presse comments how the current mess amidst the Tory Party is just a symptom of a much deeper 'malaise' in the country, highlighting even more that the country doesn't seem to know in which direction it is heading.
According to the article, the British currently have two blind spots. First of all, the U.K. seems to confuse internal British debates with the necessary negotiations at the European level, and ignore the fact that the process of leaving the EU is governed not by British but by European law. Secondly, the debate around a hard border with Ireland is currently leading nowhere and lacks a concrete and realistic plan. The article suggest that the EU will need to put more pressure on the U.K. for the European Council summit in December to be able to produce any concrete answers.
