This would prompt others to precipate a crisis and enable us to respond well before the dreaded influx of migrants from Romania and Bulgaria, in my opinion the greatest long term threat to the future of my grandchildren. In Cornwall a building programme of 38,ooo new houses is being forced upon us, about 5 new towns the size of Redruth, Not because the indigenous population need it, but inspired by the Eu to cover the needs of you know who !<br /><br /><br />Cornish Keithkeith hickmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-61997423936599709072012-12-21T10:57:00.029+00:002012-12-21T10:57:00.029+00:00Humble Rik is right: we should get the UK issue of...Humble Rik is right: we should get the UK issue off the table with the turkey. Cast-Iron-Pledge Cameron must very soon do what all 3 parties promised: a Referendum. (Who remembers the dishonest Clegg leading all his silly sheep out of the Commons because he demanded an In-Out referendum but was not offered it?)<br />The thing is to get out of the EU before it collapses under its own dead-weight, rather than go down with it.Rollohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18255460090580758354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-37017129176459249312012-12-20T22:37:53.490+00:002012-12-20T22:37:53.490+00:00Crisis is difficult to predict, but:

Certainly not on the mutual guarantees they only thing that would be really helpful for the crisis.<br /><br />UK will depend on:<br /> If serious problems will arise in the EZ (real possibility any exit needs a treatychange);<br /> Cameron will have most likley to do something for the homeaudience if he wants to be reelected. Also the EZ will imho be wise to get the UK issue of the table. If you get an EZ exit and everything comes up at the same time you are to be 'blackmailed' and not only by the UK, probably by many more. Which makes a treatychange nearly impossible within a short period of time. <br />Which will require most likley because of 'blackmail' that the exit country would have to leave the EU iso the EZ or it has to be kept in (by all sort of transfers which might not be 'approvable' in a lot of countries. Simply a situation you donot want to run into.<br />Fully understandable they donot want to change re an exit now (it gives completely the wrong idea of course). But you donot want Cameron to be forced to make a stand and likley as a consequence thereof others putting demands on the table as well. It has all in it to become a full revision of the treaty,but with only 1/10th or so of the time to do it.<br />Imho they will be well served to get the UK issue off the table. Riknoreply@blogger.com
