And anyway from my perspective several Conservative MPs have been making the points more cogently to better effect. Its true thatthere are no guarantees but I'm more optimistic than you sem to be. In the end we may as a nation prefer to leave the EU. It would not unduly alarm me, but at this stage I support the Prime Minister's intention to make our relationship with the EU operate in the UK's interest.Glyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-37144356280281120262013-01-06T23:19:19.439+01:002013-01-06T23:19:19.439+01:00We know that the deficit has to be significantly r...We know that the deficit has to be significantly reduced by 2015. We know that immigration numbers have to be significantly reduced as well. And we know that welfare spending has to be brought under control by, and that we must negotiate a different relationship with the EU by 2015.<br /><br />Sure, but UKIP are the ones shouting it from the roof tops. DC just seems to be responding and as for renegotiating there is no guarantee that Europe will negotiate.Barleybillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447709063273813012noreply@blogger.com
