By the way , Cameron wants to stay in !! Plonker !
And he has set a date for Brexit. Mmmmmm go figure!
Cameron is a man of his word. He delivered! This goes well beyond what he wants and finally Brits will have their say.
YES, but, if the UK votes to exit the EU, then Cameron and the Conservatives are going to pay a heavy political price down the road when the economy takes a nosedive for all the reasons Erolz talked about earlier, because Cameron never wanted to leave the EU in the first place. He just wanted to blackmail the EU for concessions, which he appears to have gotten, but it may all be for nothing if the referendum goes against what he wants. Be careful what you ask for, because you might just get it and won't be happy with it. Just imagine if the UK votes itself out of the EU and later on wants to get back in again. The EU will be bending the UK over really good before they let it back in again. Also, if the UK is out, then there goes Scotland from the UK for starters and maybe even Wales and NI. As for Turkey, they will be very unhappy for losing one of their strong advocates for their EU membership. Lets see what happens if UK votes to go out of the EU, and lets see how far the shit will fly off the fan!
I can only see a win win by leaving the EU Bureaucracy of technocrats dictating to Governments and people on how they should think and behave.
I couldn't think of anything worse, but I appreciate your opinion.
As for Turkey, if they know what's good for them, they would give the EU a very wide birth.
Look at Greece as the prime example.
It wasn't the EU that did Greece in, but was the EURO and for the fact that the Greeks were living way way beyond their means.
