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

Looks like Gove is going to back the out campaign.

Anyway, I think the Belgium PM has done the 'Out' team talk for us:

Quote:
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel says all the efforts going into the EU reform negotiations will be for naught if the British people vote to leave the European Union in a referendum.

Michel insisted no other member nation should be able to use a possible reform deal Friday as a stepping stone for getting more national exemptions.

"My message is clear: if the British say no in the referendum the text will automatically evaporate. We cannot allow other nations to use the texts as a basis to relaunch a hostile action against Europe," he said.

Michel added: "There are no second chances."

"Let's be clear it is not possible to have such a show again in the coming months or years with a permanent doubt hovering over Europe."

These people are insane.

Right now we are seeing why the EU doesn't and can't work, if we needed any more evidence. It's too big and involved in far too much. The bigger it gets and the more competing views and interests there are, the slower and more complex everything becomes. Of course all that demands yet more Eurocrats with their noses at the Euro-trough...
