They want all of the financial benefits of belonging to the EU but none of that meddlesome liberal Human Rights legislation…
Czech Republic pretty much views the EU as nothing but a cash cow, a source of subsidies for infrastructure improvement.
Vladimir Putin remarked a few months back that once Czech Republic, Poland, etc., go from being net beneficiaries of EU cash to net contributors to the EU budget….they’ll probably invoke Article 50 and leave.
I think Putin’s probably entirely correct in his assessment, sad to say.
