Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Thing is, Iains, the EU definitely wants us to stay. But the EU thinks we're leaving. They will make things as difficult as possible for us to leave, pour encourager les autres. On the other hand, if they think we may stay, which would be massively in their interests, they will have to listen to any demands for reform. They didn't do that when Cameron made his ill-fated sortie before the referendum because they didn't see the need to give us anything: neither the EU nor Cameron thought for one second that we would vote to leave, so why would they. But it's different now. And I believe there is a groundswell for reform in Europe. The UK in a reformed EU is in everybody's interests. And nothing else comes close.
