Cameron doesn't want to leave the EU, the EU doesn't want the UK to leave, Cameron isn't looking for anything unfeasible, and the EU has a long history of compromises, opt-outs, and fudges going back to the time of de Gaulle. There will be a deal.

@1. I know that Cameron believes it's best for the UK to stay in the EU and work for change. Trouble is that intelligent British people don't see it that way. What they see is over 60 million people being dictated to by an essentially unelected, undemocratic dictatorship. How does that work when there is the EU Parliament? Does the EU Parliament govern? No. Does the Council of Ministers govern? No. What governs is the unelected EU Commission. Sorry, it is 'elected'. But not by the people. Commissioners elect each other.
May 28th, 2015 - 04:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@7. Then you need to work to demonstrate to europhiles that they're wrong. We must work to get Britain out. Consider, the UK contributes around £53 million every DAY. What does it get for it? More directives, regulations and rules. The EU even sends British money to argieland. Do you know a major lie? British trade with the EU. All British exports shipped via the container ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam are recorded are recorded as exports to the EU. It's been admitted in the past that British exports to the EU are inflated by at least 10%. It wasn't long ago that figures were released showing British exports to the EU were down to 45%. But if that was really 35%? How many years did Britain do very well without the EU, thanks? The British people must be educated to see the truth. Can you imagine one of the foremost free democracies on Earth not having a guiding voice. Instead we are being led by two countries that, in the last 215 years, have started no less than three world wars. By countries such as spain without the least idea of either freedom or democracy. And doesn't even understand law. Countries that spent at least 50 years under soviet domination and, as a result, are poor. And who's paying to drag them into the 20th century?

I am not aware of all the arguments, solid or not, presented by those in favour of the UK leaving the EU, or remaining in it, but a simple approach to finding a solution, should take into account that the current 'migrants' welfare entitlement rules need to be changed - to become a damned sight more restrictive - and that what should prevail in the UK is British, not European Law.....If the EU focused only on free trade within the Union, instead of dictating rules which interfere with the management of each member's internal affairs, perhaps it would be more acceptable to most.

May 29th, 2015 - 08:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0But back to the argument. You still seem to be having your usual difficulties distinguishing between cartoons and realpolitik, and this has led you to believe that what is going on here is some kind of struggle between Cameron and Merkel with her orc armies of faceless bureaucrats in Brussels and Frankfurt. I'm sure Cameron would be quite happy for us all to believe that, but serious eurosceptics aren't buying it at all. See e.g http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3095556/Dave-demand-earth-Europe-s-leaders-amazed-wants-LITTLE-says-Daniel-Hannan-Conservative-MEP.html.
And in this they are right. Cameron isn't calling into question anything fundamental at all. He's tried to put up a smokescreen to cover this in the shape of the proposal to withdraw from the ECHR and replace the Human Rights act, which is quite a smart move since it allows him to wrap himself in a neo-Peronist flag of sovereignity over a matter that has nothing to do with the EU at all, and has no economic impact either. Unfortunately it seels the wheels are coming off that move, thanks to the Scots, the Irish, and the Welsh, but something else will surely be found. Most of the rest requires no Treaty change at all.
This being so, what problem is he going to have with Merkel? What unites them is far greater and stronger than what divides them. The EU is all about free market liberal capitalism and they're both ardent believers in that. And so long as the principle of free movement of labour remains in place, there is no way Merkel is going to risk damage to the German economy over tax credits for Polish workers in the UK.
The idea that faceless bureaucrats call the shots is also well wide of the mark. Major EU decisions these days are made by politicians horse trading outside the EU framework. And this is precisely what DC is up to right now. He will get what he wants. The EU, contrary to myth, is not a monolith, but a mass of compromises.
@12. They aren't 'key' arguments. How do you feel if I have the 'right' to enter your home at any time, take up residence, require you to support me for the rest of my natural life and there's no way you can stop me? How about if I'm first in the queue for the money from your pay packet? Before the government. How do you feel if I can see your employer and offer to do the same job for £5 a day less than you do? And you get sacked? How do you feel if, within 15 years, scotland is an islamic state? And 99% black? Down the mosque five times a day for you!

And Juncker doesn't like sovereignty. He likes 'federalism'. Where he would be top dog!

May 29th, 2015 - 12:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cameron and Merkel have much in common in many respects, particularly when it comes to austerity, in a Europe where there are two kind of Politians, those pro austerity and those against.
She will do everything she can to keep the UK in, if only because of the finical impact of the UK leaving, fuck the Grexit, that would be serious shit.
As for Scotland, if the UK votes to leave the EU then there would be another referendum in Scotland, when they would be able to vote in favour of leaving the UK and applying to join the EU as a new member.
There is no way of Scotland “continuing” membership of the EU under the same terms, if the UK leaves the EU.
The bureaucrats in the EU will have to put into effect whatever the heads of governments decide. Much if not all of what Cameron is looking for can be done without treaty changes.
That is the realpolitik of Europe today, where deals are cobbled together as a matter of course. The question is whether it will be enough to get a “yes” vote in the referendum, if not then we shall see who gets what fallout.

@19
May 29th, 2015 - 04:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I see we're dealing with your usual EekANumber! approach to statistics. In fact, you can find a truer picture here :
https://fullfact.org/europe/eu_make_uk_law-29587
Simply counting laws does not consider that some laws have more impact than others. Quoted figures vary wildly from under 10% to 70%.It’s possible to justify any measure between about 15% to 50% depending on which definition of ‘UK law’ you look at.
What you're also missing is that EU law is enacted by some combination of the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament, depending on the area in question. The Council of Ministers consist of Ministers appointed by national governments, and the European Parliament consists of elected representatives. It's convenient for politicians and others to blame failings on the unelected faceless bureaucrats of the Commission, but the Commission is rarely the real villain.
You also don't consider what EU law is all about. The bulk of it is about regulating the Single Market, and the purpose of all that regulation is to support a classical liberal market economy with free movement of capital and labour, an absence of internal tariff barriers, no unfair jiggery-pokery and artificial barriers to competition, and nobody being able to behave like Argentina does in Mercosur and get away with it. Much of it is purely technical stuff which would have to be passed whether the UK was in the EU or not, as both Norway and Switzerland have found.
I thought you were in favour of free market capitalism, incidentally, or are you actually just another closet Peronist? Or have you just misunderstood the need for regulation to prevent cheating?

May 29th, 2015 - 05:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just because a site doesn't coincide with your preconceptions, doesn't mean its not independent. You have to take into account the quality of its analysis. And this one has comprehensively debunked your scare mongering. And it didn't conclude that 54% of British laws are Brussels made, it concluded that depending on what definition you choose anywhere between 15% and 50% of British legal instruments are influenced by the EU, but the number is basically meaningless unless you examine the actual content. That's a but subtle for you, I know, but that's the way of it.
The EU is similar to NAFTA, ASENA, PA in at least one respect, in that it doesn't have unelected bodies making domestic laws and regulations and imposing them on sovereign states either. There is not one single EU law that has been imposed on anybody without the participation and consent of elected representatives. Or name one if you can. None of these Blocs have either the scope, ambition, or maturtity of the EU, in particular they haven't fully addressed the essential aspects of free movement of capital, goods, and labour. You can't do that without institutions to manage it. It's interesting to note though that they are all evolving regulatory and dispute resolution mechanisms which will ultimately lead them down the same road.
You're not wrong, on the other hand, about the origins of the EU, but those were the concerns of 70 years ago and they are long since resolved. I'm quite glad in that respect that nobody gets handed a tin hat these days and sent off to fight the Germans. The issue today, on the other hand, is what's the best way to compete with the US and/or China and /or other emerging economic blocs without losing living standards. You can make an argument that being small and nimble is a better way of doing that than joining forces with your peers, but that's not the one you're making.

Your own piece of crap says quote
”Sometimes a figure of 70% is used — including in February 2014 by Viviane Reding, the Vice-President of the European Commission — but this is actually the percentage of EU laws that the European Parliament (elected representatives of each EU country) and the European Council (representatives of the governments of each EU country) have had an equal say on.”
Well that's the problem... They are actually unelected.
Do you happen to know these names, Barbara Matera, Angela Sozio, Eleonora Gaggioli...?? No, I don’t think you have ever dated them. They are Italian vp whores handpicked by Berlusconi and set into the Euro Parliament.
The daughter of the Argentine defense Minister was a candidate for the Euro parliament.
Now how it that these people were is determine and legislate laws and regulations for a taxi driver in Dublin, a dairy farmer in Brittany or a unemployed single mother in Madrid??
It’s a load of bullshit. The obvious reality is that local and national parliaments and congress have a direct say in the laws they make than a couple of envoys in Brussels.
And about free trade. Of course, it’s very easy EU is not about free trade at all. It works in the equivalent way that minimum wages work. In fact its the reason why Germany is such a succesful economy and wiping the floor with you lot.
By enforcing piles of pdf paper towers of laws and regulations upon businesses across Europe you are effectively killing all the small guys and making their cost go so high they can’t compete with the Germans.
Yeah the Germans have excellent quality goods, but if you prevent Italian or Greek producers to produce stuff at lesser qualities and cheaper which is the only free mark tool they have to compete, then you are giving them a death sentence.

Thanks also for contradicting your own argument, it saves me a bit of work. But just in case you missed it, the union of the sets of elected representatives and representatives of the governments does not include any of the proverbial faceless bureaucrats. And of course the issues which the Council of Ministers keeps back for the representatives of governments is the serious, delicate, big stuff such as Justice, where sovereignity really does come into play.
But now that I think of it, you have indeed raised an important point. There must certainly have been cases where unelected national representatives have voted on EU matters at the Council of Ministers. These would be British Members of that uniquely undemocratic institution, the House of Lords. Isn't it amazing that the French, Germans, et al would allow unelected Brits to influence matters in their own countries?
That Burlesquoni's a character, though, isn't he? Even so, he never had the power to put anybody in the European Parliament, only to select candidates for his own political party. Of the 4, only Matera actually got elected, and she is apparently doing a reasonably decent job. She doesn't fit any definition of a whore I would recognise, but I don't share your issues with women, sex, and misogyny, so I won't comment further.
Otherrwise, I don't quite see how the little guys would be better empowered to compete with the Germans if they had 28 different sets of regulations to contend with, rather than one, or how the kind of Peronist autarky you seem to be implying instead would be any better. Are you really a closet Peronist after all?

That's also easy. The voters of France gave that mandate to the government(s) that agreed to codecide matters with Italy and the other members.
> So you are actually overinflating the laws National congress have in Europe and diminishing artificially the laws past by Brussels.
No I'm not. You're over-inflating things by claiming that e.g an EU regulation on lawn mower noise has the same weight as a national law on e.g taxation. No it doesn't.
> And you are accuse me of being a closet peronist???
I'm just accusing you of being inconsistent. You're pushing typically Peronist conceptions of autarky and sovereignity while claiming to be a free marketer. But mostly you'e missing the point. What the EU has done is to take 28 countries who have spent most of recorded history fighting with each other, and made out of that an economic zone with free movement of labour, capital, goods and services, without internal tariffs, protectionism, or artificial barriers to competition, with social standards that are for the most part the best in the world, and both a coordination mechanism that works (creaky and overly bureaucratic though it may be), and a dispute resolution mechanism that is adhered to by all, with the whole edifice cohesive enough that the US, China and all the rest have to sit up and pay attention to it. It's certainly not perfect, but it's a tremendous achievement.
Otherwise, it's not Cameron you were wrong about, it's Merkel.

Democracies dont go to war with each other and conventional fire power alone with out considering nuclear has made wars simply too costly and to damaging for States. It has nothing to do with the EU, this has being a pattern in most of the world since WWII ended.
The EU is not about free trade, as I have explained you with a proper FREE MARKET principle why it is not. You just keep on looking aside on this and keep on the blah blah empty speeches.
Standardized laws, currencies and regulations work like the minimum wage but on country to country level. There is nothing to do with free markets.

Otherwise, one of us seems to be having some basic conceptual difficulties. Would you mind explaining how it is that free movement of capital, labour, goods, and services, elimination of tariff barriers, state subsidies, and barriers to competition don't make a free market, whereas protective measures against Germany apparently would?
I'm also a little confused that you cite a French referendum, so it would appear, as part of a complaint that the French can't have referendums. Que? In fact, referendums are a matter for national constitutions and legislatures, and anybody whose constitution recognises them can have a referendum whenever they like, on whatever topic they like. That's how come there have been loads of them on various aspects all across the EU, and the UK, for example, is now on its second whether to stay in or get out. In this respect, as it happens, it's handy that the Lisbon Treaty has already formalised the right to leave the EU, and laid down the procedure for doing so, although this is rather a strange way for a dictatorial superstate to be behaving, I would have thought. But perhaps you can cite a case of popular demand for a referendum being ignored, either at national level, or by the orc armies of faceless bureaucrats in Brussels (or elsewhere)?

They either give us what we want or we walk,
Giving the rightful impression that he is indeed fighting for us,
And this impression, I believe is what we the British people believe he is doing, and rightly so,
Then today in the
Times, this president overlord stated the following,
Britain will not vote to leave EU, says Juncker
European Commission president claims Brexit not desired by British and David Cameron is using referendum to tie Britain to Europe permanently

Now either David was lying, and he is indeed giving us away, and the boss man was correct, or David is truly fighting for us, and this president is lying,
Yet no government official has condemned the article,
So-is this man fighting our corner, or committing treason and selling us down the drain,
Or the president is deliberately and maliciously stirring up the British people,
perhaps just ones imagination running wild..
Just a thought.
