Should it be simply a case of waiting, then why do we see such a robust and stern tone from politicians from Brussels, rather than one that is more placid and passive? They could indeed be frustrated at the lack of progress from the UK side but why should this frustration be so palpable, when they make it abundantly clear that Brits have far more to loose from what is going to happen.
The EU will continue to exist regardless of how amicable future negations turn out to be (or not!) but one could be forgiven that the roles have been reversed given on which side the raw feeling seems to be strongest.
