Britain & the EU - What's Happening?

[dougiebarder]

Personally I just find it scary. I'm just hope the British people have enough sense to vote against giving away our sovereignty. I presume that tony is going for the referendum because he thinks he won't be able to push it through the house of commons. The only good thing about this is the ribbing he's getting from Micheal Howard (the leader of the opposition)-It reminded me just how entertaining politics can be.
I really can't understand why anybody in this country would want closer ties with europe-let alone what is being suggested now. We've seem to put more money in than we get out as it is and we've all heard about the price increases brought in when the euro was introduced in the rest of the EU. If Britain need's to have closer ties with any country,it should be our old allies (as in real allies) America, Australia, Canada etc).
Sorry Rant over, but this really is a worrying situation.
