Thread Name: BS: Europe forges fiscal union/Cameron Veto
Subject: RE: BS: Cameron's Veto on Europe
Thanks, Bluesman for spouting the usual Eurosceptic line ... or, rather, thanks for nothing!
If being in Europe is such a disadvantage why haven't previous governments, both Labour and Tory, taken us out of it?
I suspect that the referendum, that you espouse so fervently, would merely be represent an opportunity for xenophobes to vent their spleen. Conversely I, and people like me, would probably vote to stay in because we believe in internationalism. Nevertheless, xenophobia vs internationalism is really a side issue and most of us probably don't have a clear enough understanding of the real issues in order to vote effectively in the county's best interests.
Does anyone have any idea of the possible long(er) term outcomes of Cameron's veto?
