As a Luxembourgish citizen, for the first eighteen years of my life there was only one prime minister: Jean-Claude Juncker, now the president of the European Commission. That said, I can tell you that Juncker’s tough talk over Brexit isn’t worth nearly as much as the the media make it seem.

Juncker embodies everything wrong with politics as it is: A law-student who never practiced the job, Juncker became party secretary in a large center-right party (the same ideological family as German Chancellor Angela Merkel). He got taken under the wing of former Luxembourg prime minister and later European Commission president Jacques Santer, and Juncker ended up serving more than 30 years in government.
