I don't understand Brexit and maybe never will. But this article kind of opens my eye:

I like what was said between May and Merkel:
"In a recent private meeting between May and the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, the two leaders reportedly found themselves in a tragicomic conversational loop. May kept telling Merkel: “Make me an offer.” To which Merkel would reply: “But you’re leaving – we don’t have to make you an offer. Come on, what do you want?” To which May would retort: “Make me an offer.”
Kind of reflects some of the negotiations we do in LOS with those annoying "up to you"
