re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

Quote:
Remaining within the European Union under the UK's current membership terms would be "disastrous", Conservative minister Chris Grayling has said.

The EU was heading towards closer integration - a path the UK "will not and should not follow", the leader of the Commons wrote in the Telegraph.

It is being seen as the first sign of a minister preparing to campaign to leave the EU in the UK's referendum.

They can tinker around the edges but when it comes to the meaningful stuff, such as free movement, further integration etc., the Euro movers and shakers have proved themselves to be as intransigent as they as misguided and I reckon the chance of Cameron getting any significant concessions which would actually be carried through is virtually zero. To allow the UK the concessions most of us seem to want would be to admit their strategy is flawed and these people don't do that. They'd rather drive the EU off a cliff than admit they're wrong and I expect a whole load of weasel words and sophistry to emanate from the Eurocrats in an attempt to save their faces and keep the UK's sizeable Euro-subsidy heading their way.
