I have often thought it would be cool to let world political leaders do like a wife swap show for a month..
Cameron swaps with Obama, Merkel with Kim Jong Il..
It would be hilarious to watch on tv

And he said he wants to be in charge until 2020! Great years ahead.I think this is wishful thinking, on his part. He's managed to re-Thatcherise the UK to swiftly and completely — even more so than Thatcher herself — that he won't survive the next general election.
And his monkey Clegg will never been seen in politics again.
- *so swiftly [...]Continuity
- Agree, he's kinda Thatcher + Blair.chrisRG
- Well, the problem he's a bungler, whereas as Thatcher was shrewd and calculating. In a way, that makes him more dangerous.Continuity
- As much as I despise Thatcher at least she had a brain and wasn't from the Toff ClassqTime

Cameron is the worst kind of Tory.

At least the UK can count on the numerous natural resources it has on its territory,
so good mode David, you can proceed

Nobody cares because no-one in this country seems to be able (or willing) to explain what the EU is or stands for - so it just appears to be a money pit
Cameron is useless but the country's finance were totally wrecked by the last lot - Christ knows why anyone wants them back. Every time Ed Balls makes one of his flatline jibes it's like he's proud of what he's done, the cunt.
If it is put to a vote we'll be out of the EU thanks to UKIP/Daily Mail scaremongering, which the pro-EU lobby seems totally incapable of counteracting.
- I think you'll find that that mess goes back a lot further than Brown / Blair.qTime
- The mess basically has its origins with Thatcher, and Reagan by proxy.Continuity

This is David Cameron pandering to the Daily Mail readership, but as Detritus mentioned, the US have made their position on the subject clear.
The problem with Cameron is he's a complete imbecile, and doesn't really know when he's gone too far.
I reckon he'll take it to the end. And, what's more, the EU will let him, to teach him a lesson.

Not sure the public is best placed to make a decision on this.
For me the quality of life appears better in France and Germany than the UK plus people like Cameron hate things like capping the hours worked by people that the EU want. So I'm all up for closer relations with Europe. I don't really care where we are ruled from.
Its not like we really have democracy in the UK with only 2.5 parties to choose from.- God no! The public should never be consulted on things like this. The public = morons. I know, because I'm public.detritus
- Sadly most of the public believe what they are told in the Sun.qTime
- So true - a plebiscite is the worse possible outcome for this situation, we live with a bunch of zenophobic fucktardsrupedixon
- Look at all those Britons moving to Paris. Not. It's the French who flock to London for jobs.shaft
- My French client calculated, his state medical service costs more in tax than it would have in insurance in the US.shaft

it's typical rightwing-tory brinkmanship - lead everyone to the edge of the cliff to let them know a) just how far they'll go to fuck things up and b) how high the cliff is so everyone holds tight to their rope.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, the American administration's more than loudly voiced their discontent at the situation, and if there's one thing Britain's still really good at, it's doing what America tells it to.
EU could as easily play the game and hardline Cameron's pick and choose philosophy - I'm sure he'd (and the moneymen he kowtows to) crane his neck in in no time if the EU threatened to fuck our right to free trade on the continent.

Is it just me or this seems to be getting really serious.
I'm curious on what do you guys think about that.
