He claims what was on offer wasn't in Britain's interests. So, rather than going and vetoing the entire thing why didn't he remain in negotiation? He's merely ignoring what could be best for our country in order to win favour with the eurosceptic wing in his own party.

Most importantly, it appears that, to quote John Major, we're now outside the tent pissing in. We've lost credibility and influence in Europe thanks to our Prime Minister. Because what's going to happen now is a eurozone-only deal which leads to a two-tier Europe. It seems he wants it both ways; he wants to be inside Europe but he wants control of everything. That's impossible, and I agree with Sarkozy that he's simply being unreasonable.
 
So you'd rather lose all power we ever had? Lets face it the French and Germans have been trying to get rid of us since we got in. They still harbour national jealousies over the past and don't want us having a say.
How could he stay in negotiations. All but 4 had signed up and 2 of those 4 are going to after they get it through their own parliaments.
We seem to think that the rest of the world doesn't exist and we need the EU for trade. Why?? The place is pretty much bankrupt. Shouldn't we be selling to people with money.

The sooner we are out the better.
 
Thank fuck for that.

We would have had no say in any policies as the Germans and French would have sown it all up. We are only allowed anyway near Europe because of our Stock Market and the Bank of England.

We have given too much of our powers over to them anyway, there are laws for this, laws for that which we abide by but hardly anyone else does.

Fuck em. We don't need them but they do need us. They might not like it but it's true.

Wel,l we buy more off them than they buy off us, so that might be a factor.

As far as I am aware EDF (a French company, govt controlled virtually) owns most of our electricity provision and several of our nuclear power stations.

If that's an example of them needing us I can't agree.
 
I was quite happy about this, the impact will be known soon but a euro tax on the city of london would of killed us off completely. They already have enough power anyway. The UK is called treasure island to importers us not signing our souls away to the French and Germans will not change that
