The EU is fundamentally broken. There's a law in politics - if something can't continue, it won't. We may have hastened its demise but when the end comes, it won't have been our doing. The intransigence and mule-headed obsession with federalism amongst the Brussels elite is the root cause.

The politicians who promised it are still there. Let's see the 5% drop in fuel bills (which isnt going amount to anything for any energy we buy outside of sterling) and the extra money for the NHS. Dan Hannan is already making it clear that people expecting immigration to drop will be disappointed.
Dan Hannan comes at this from the same perspective as me. The structures of the EU have always been fundamentally incompatible with the democratic tradition of the British people. There is a long tradition of euroscepticism in this country that has nothing to do with immigration.
