Social Europe
Today has probably been the most interesting day in British politics
since the general election in 2010. David Cameron has delivered his
long-awaited speech on what he thinks the British future in the European
Union should be. In his remarks, the British Prime Minister made clear
that if he was to be reelected in 2015, he would seek a major
renegotiation of the terms of British EU membership. He could not be
pinned down to what exactly he would like to renegotiate but only
mentioned broad areas such as social and employment law. Cameron also
avoided answering the question, posed to him repeatedly, what he would
do if he failed to achieve what he would consider an acceptable
renegotiated membership. So all in all the Prime Minister created more
new questions than he provided answers.
