Perhaps because the Tories would want to campaign for coming out, and Cameron's leadership of the Tory party would immediately become untenable.Camerson has ruled out an in/out referendum, I wonder why this is?"It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be.

Indeed not. If we want to become a no-account country, without influence, like Norway, which most US Presidents couldn't find on a map of Norway.Only we don't need them."It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be.

Sorry, but this is absolute Tripe. As we are sucjed deeper and deeper into the EU whirlpool, the UK will end up having no influence at all.0 -

There is a difference between having influence with which to protect our own interests, and having influence in order to try to tell the rest of the world what it should be doing and to "punch above our weight". I would argue that most people wish for the former. But the latter is the view of those who are in denial about the fact that the great colonial power of 1850-1950 no longer exists, and that it's time to face the realitiesof the 21st century.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

Most Presidents of the US couldn't find anywhere else either unless they wanted to bomb them."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

It's instructive to see the same old lies being peddled by the Europhiles, however many times the truth is told.
As I posted earlier: "Leaving aside the small matter of the 6.7 billion a year we pay to be in their club, we run a trade deficit with the EU bloc. In 2009 it was getting on for £35 billion."
