Merkel Ally Kauder Says Germany Unable to Stop U.K. Exit From EU

Germany can do little to stop the U.K. from exiting the European Union if it chooses to go, a senior party ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel said.

While the German government will work for European unity, there’s not a lot one member of the 28-country EU can do if another decides it’s had enough, said Volker Kauder, the caucus leader in parliament of Merkel’s Christian Democratic bloc.
