How will Cameron go down in history?

[Arturo Bassick]

The problem is that the position Cameron has taken whilst not a rebuttal of Europe, has completely sidelined the UK. This means new Eurozone countries will press ahead. This will create tension as newspapers start launching vitriolic attacks on these new rules, and Eurosceptics will be baying for blood. In other words by exercising his veto Cameron has set a train events in motion over which he has no control whatsoever. The government is now being driven by the Eurosceptics. Hard to see how this won´t lead to bitter fights between the EU and the UK, that will strengthen the Eurosceptics to want to leave the EU. There is already a significant minority of Conservative back benchers who want the UK to leave anyway. I don´t think it will come to that; I think in the end rather like John Major Cameron will be brought down by the "bastards" on the back benches.

I suspect you are right there.

What is annoying about this is that all sides are muddying the waters somewhat. I have posted in other threads about it. The EU and the Euro are 2 different issues. The Euro crisis is not an EU issue. It is wrong of the eurozone countries to be using the EU as a platform to save it. Their meetings and resolutions should be between them and anyone who wants to help and on that score DC was right to say "Non".
