Merkel is miscalculating as fuck.
First she says Germany will accept everyone in need. Hundreds of thousands enter Germany within week, possibly millions get moving from refugee camps in middle east.
Then Germany closes off its border, letting all other countries that are in migrants path to deal with the upcoming wave.
Then Germany asks others to accept refugee quotas, i.e. accept people who don’t want to go to these countries in the first place (only 60 out 1300 Syrians who entered Czech Republic between 2 and 9 September accepted asylum here, most continued to Germany).
Now Merkel says either accept quotas, or get EU funding slashed. I can hardly imagine anything else she could have done to bolster anti-EU politicians in Visegrád countries.
With this course of German recklessness maybe UK won’t be the only country with referendum in 2017.
Also, some interesting maps:
