Brits will vote on membership in the EU — 9 Comments

  1. If the referendum goes against the E.U., I suspect that the E.U. will simply take steps to bring them back into the fold, so to speak.

    E.U. = Deutschland éœber Alles but by peaceful means.

  2. Amazing and sad that today’s leader of the party of Churchill and Thatcher would campaign to turn over the UK’s sovereignty to the EU bureaucrats.

  3. Look at Denmark.

    Once the matter is put to the people — the Brussels juggernaut is rejected.

    Usually by large margins.

  4. Inconsequential really, when the larger issue of the Islamization of Europe is considered. The EU and the UK are living on borrowed time, as they rush toward their self-imposed fate.

  5. Boris Johnson commits himself to the “Out” campaign. This is going to get very interesting.

  6. These are the “details” as reported by Reuters:

    “Following are key details from a new EU deal with Britain on Friday, seen by Reuters:

    TREATY CHANGE

    “Two elements of the package are to be enshrined in future EU treaty amendments: a special exemption for Britain from further political integration under “ever closer union”; and elements of an accord to ensure fair treatment of financial and economic arrangements between the euro zone and non-euro EU states.

    IN-WORK BENEFITS

    “Britain will be entitled to deny in-work benefits to newly arrived workers from other EU states for their first four years in the country; it will be able to apply this “emergency brake” to new arrivals during a seven-year period from the measure first being used.

    CHILD BENEFIT

    “An EU-wide indexation system affecting payments of child benefit to workers whose children live in another EU state comes into force for new claimants immediately and for all claimants on Jan. 1, 2020. The system will let governments index the level of payments made for children living in another member state to the cost of living there and the level of child benefits there.

    EURO INS AND OUTS

    “The draft stressed the need for a “level playing field” in financial and banking regulation. It gives Britain the right to supervise financial institutions and markets to preserve financial stability. This is “without prejudice” to the existing powers of the European Union to act to protect financial stability.”
    *********************************************
    That’s it? Yes, according to Reuters the all-knowing, all-seeing.

    Note the phrasing: (the Agreement “Gives Britain the right”). The EU giveth and the EU taketh away, blessed be the name of the EU. The Agreement is largely about income redistributions. And anyone who thinks anything will be “enshrined” in future EU treaty agreements is delusional.

  7. I’d be might ticked off if I was another country looking on at the special deals for Britain. Regardless, with the silent invasion occurring with the full support of the EUe, why would anyone want to stay in the EU?
