The government is conducting negotiations in this way for a reason. The EU have finally put their paper forward, so we can see where they are coming from. This gives us the advantage, because we can hone in on those areas that are vague or unacceptable and put forward a better way.

A lot of people who argue that the negotiations are a mess would have wished us to put all our cards on the table from the beginning.

Take it from me, and I have a successful track record in difficult negotiations, but that really is not the way to negotiate. If the government had gone in that way, they would have suffered the same fate as Cameron did. He went in with all his cards on the table and they dismantled them one by one!
