If the British are not happy with the E-U, why don't they get out of it. We do not really need that US "Trojan-horse" in that already sick union, which as it is, will soon disintegrate. The E-U needs to have a strong leadership, not that consented anarchy with those thousands of thousands useless leech...Sorry Future E-U's Generations... JCM

These free trade idiots didn't notice the last economic crash and won't recognize the next such economic event. The alternative to the EU which the now governing Conservative party used to promote was a closer alliance with the USA. This would be political suicide as a program so their anti EU rhetoric has largely disappeared. For fear that their Atlantic Alliance proposals fall under the media spot light. The Conservative party has always sought to reduce the EU to a Free Trade area. But the emergence of the Euro destroyed this as a practical project. Now as a result of the economic crisis events are propelling European politicians in the opposite direction(i.e greater integration between the policies of EU states). British politicians are, as usual, on the sidelines while the biggest states of mainland Europe determine future EU policy. P.S. The Russian elites shouldn't invest a Kopeck of political capital with the British government.
