Cameron and Hague Miscalculate Gravely
In my estimation the Tory leadership has been on the wrong foot from the very beginning on the EU referendum motion. Indeed not only have they totally misjudged the whole issue but they have shown an arrogance and immaturity, nay stupidity, that is quite frankly very worrying. Will I have any confidence that they will dare ask for all those powers to be repatriated from the EU that I want repatriated? Bluntly, no. Furthermore it may be Cameron's opinion that it is in our interest to be in the EU but do I agree with that? No I do not as I see a life outside a sclerotic institution, which is run by bureaucrats and fronted by third rate politicians like commie Barroso, van Rompuy, Baroness Ashton and the like and which costs huge sums of money for little or no advantage to us, as an invitation to join the world. Cameron likes to pretend that the rebellion on the vote on the referendum is a distraction which only leads one to conclude that he does not have the stomach for the row that is going to develop with the other leaders of the EU once we ask for repatriation. Difficult to have a row with those he must now consider colleagues but that comes with the job which he tells us he so enjoys. His stance on the 3 line whip is stupid from another perspective. He will now have against him a significant number of his own supporters which will inevitably make them feel free to rebel on other issues. Cameron's and Hague's attitude makes me angry since it could easily result in a change of government at the next election at worse or another coalition at best. They have seriously weakened themselves and quite unnecessarily. As to what powers should be repatriated I think the Adam Smith Institute have got it right and suggest you read their suggestions here.
