Re: EU demand extra £1.7bn from UK
Given that we're one of the biggest net contributors and a healthy market for all manner of Euro-stuff, I think the EU would prefer to keep us in and continue to take advantage of it. For that reason and in typical negotiation style, I can see why it'd suit the Europhiles to issue all sorts of tough talk only to then show their readiness to be reasonable and 'compromise' after the event.
