[Margaret Pilkington]

It was reported that 8 out of 10 people in the UK want a referendum on membership of the EU....and they don't want a woolly worded referendum...they want the simple question....IN or OUT......I wonder if our local MP still thinks that 95% of the population couldn't give a toss about being in the EU.

As for the EU being finished.......I think only the Germans want the EU to survive in its present form, because this gives them dominance....something that two world wars failed to give them.
If Greece leaves the EU, (as some pundits predict) then what is to stop Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland from following suit?......going back to their old currency...devaluing it, and making their goods and services much more attractive.......and helping them to get a foot on the road to recovery.
Who wants to have more fiscal union/political union with Germany?
Who wants to ditch their sovereignty to be (in effect) ruled by Germany?

I think many countries are fiercely nationalistic and do not want to hand over power the the Germans.
Or have I got it completely wrong? I'm sure there are people out there who will be happy to educate me.

They say that getting out of all the agreements will not be easy...but what Parliament has done...surely it has the power to undo....and just because something is not easy - is that the rationale to avoid doing it?
