The snort of derision was probably from someone who thinks that the EU is the way to go. Someone who has a vested interest in the UK staying in.
If the UK decide to leave the EU, then it will give the nod to,other member states to follow suit.
Who is to say that a more equitable allegiance might be formed with other like minded states.
It is for sure that the EU has no intention of reforming in the way that our current PM hopes.....and they have admitted as much.
The EU need us to stay in more than we need to be there.

Will the WTO meddle in our affairs? Tell us we have to take in people from its member countries?
Will it saddle us with legislation which will tie up our traders in red tape?
If the answers to those questions are 'NO' then it would be better than what we have now.
