WE ARE THE CONTINENTAL EUROPEANS AND WE DON'T NEED YOU IN EUROPE!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU BRINGING US?!
...did I miss something?
Seriously, if, maybe after 2014, EU institutions begin to go further, I wonder what will be the future of UK within that, and actually I wonder what very worthy stuff they can bring within the 'Union' if they continue their perpetual rather selfish attitude to flatter the anti-European part of their opinion (tonight I heard about a poll saying 60% of British would quit Europe...?).
Not that other European countries wouldn't all enjoy to earn the biggest benefits they can for themselves in European summits and/or to sometimes flatter their national opinion against Europe, but UK seems to
cultivate this, kinda like a part of their identity.
Maybe they wouldn't exactly 'quit' the EU, but maybe in the end they would have a barely better status than Turkey.
I often hoped in a strong European Defense, and if France became the major military power of Europe, UK is not so far behind, even if France's advantage being to be independent on everything, from the assault riffle to the nuke button, passing by boats and planes and when we're not, it's that we have strong European alliance with countries like Germany or Spain, while UK defense equipment still seems to be partly dependent on US, they would clearly be those with which we could quickly create a strong defense, and having a European Defense could be one more big step for the European creation, and could also help to make a lot of savings in the same time (isn't what people are mainly looking for nowadays??).
But, outside of this, which isn't even sure they would accept since they seem so attached to be attached to nothing beyond the seas around them (except maybe to Northern Ireland)...WHAT THE HELL COULD THEY BRING US??
Anyways, actually, lately, when I use to wonder about the future of Europe, I use to imagine it without UK, or with them having a marginal role, or maybe the only thing that would make them change could be a big event that would make them fall in that, unless that if they have to fall somewhere it would be closer of the US, Anglos going to Anglos, or just alone with their Commonwealth, dunno...
They don't even have Monty Pythons to offer and we don't need them anymore to have tea, so what's left...?
Hmm, maybe if Scotland breaks, it could change a lot of things, but doesn't seem to be something about which someone can have any certitude, so whatever.
