David Cameron's much reported discussions with Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk are a sham, as anyone with half a brain cell must know. All Cameron is trying to do is to show how hard he is 'fighting' for the UK, while Juncker and Tusk are trying to show how tough they are. In reality, this is a case of 'aunt sallies' being set up simply so that they can be knocked down, and both sides can claim 'success', 'victory' and anything else that occurs to them. To cap it all, Cameron is desperately trying to finish things off so that he can call a referendum as quickly as possible, and before the opinion polls move even further in the direction of 'leave'. To this end, he is prepared to have the referendum campaign going on at the same time as campaigns for the Scottish parliament, Welsh assembly AND most local authorities throughout the UK; this is utterly ridiculous, though not to Cameron.
The whole EU re-negotiation is a political exercise designed from the start to end with Cameron claiming enormous reforms that will free the UK from vast swathes of intrusive EU rules and regulations; in truth, it will achieve very little, though that won't prevent an utterly disingenuous and Europhilic Cameron from telling the voters that we must stay in this 'reformed' organisation as we now have membership on our own terms and to leave it would be terribly dangerous.
Ha, bloody ha. Whatever Cameron 'achieves' will be dressed up as victory, though it will be a hollow one. The potential confusion caused by holding 4 separate electoral campaigns at much the same time will be destructive for all of them, but will allow Cameron and his fellow Europhiles to muddy the waters still more. For me, the clearer it becomes that Cameron and his fellow travellers are hell-bent on rushing the population into an early and ill-conceived vote, while campaigning to remain in with lies, half-truths and scare-mongering, the more I am certain that the only way to vote is 'LEAVE'.
