David Cameron: UK could drift towards EU exit


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21076219

David Cameron would give a speech today about the role the UK has in Europe, however, the speech is postponed due to the circumstances in Algeria. Parts of his speech have been released and it shows that Cameron wants a positive vision for the future of the European Union. A future in which Britain wants, and should want, to play a committed and active part. A lot of people in Britain wants to leave the EU because their taxes are spend to save countries on the other side of the continent.

I am very curious about what David Cameron wants to say about the relation of the UK with Europe. The UK has a very big role in the EU, and the economy could get worse for other countries if they decide to leave the EU. People are frustrated in the UK because they have to pay a lot to save other countries, which is totally understandable in my opinion. It is also understandable that he cancelled the speech, as there are also British hostages involved in Algeria.

  1. I think it was a correct decision to postpone the speech indeed. Especially because it was not a extremely time sensitive matter. I do wonder what would happen if they stepped out of the EU, but seeing as it is a large country I don't think it will be for the better of us if they did.
