Yesterday was a very important day for the United Kingdom and our Prime Minister is to be applauded for his courage and honesty in refusing to vote along with the rest of Europe and kowtow to the wishes of Germany’s Merkel and France’s Sarkozy.
To have voted with them would have put in place measures that would seriously weaken and damage the interests of the United Kingdom both economically and politically and, as he said before the European showdown, David Cameron would not sign any agreement unless it was in his country’s interests. In defending those interests the Prime Minister may well have isolated himself and his country within Europe but it is a price worth paying. The fact that his was a lone voice is irrelevant since, as we all know, the majority view is not always the right view.
We have no duty to sacrifice ourselves on the altar of European unity. The European Union is undemocratic, grossly inefficient, overly-bureaucratic and corrupt and its eventual collapse is inevitable. It is our Prime Minister’s duty to ensure that the United Kingdom is in the best possible position to weather the ensuing storm and yesterday was a positive step towards fulfilling that duty.
