The substance of this will be incorporated into the Treaties at the time of their next revision in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Treaties and the respective constitutional requirements of the Member States, so as to make it clear that the references to ever closer union do not apply to the United Kingdom. So why exactly are we leaving again? Well it is a 'nothing' statement as the UK would have simply used its veto over closer union if it was proposed. Personally I prefer being European and would welcome closer union in a federal system, a 'United States of Europe' as Churchill envisaged, would be ideal.

When European integration happens, the above would have been discarded in a similar manner to the way the EU got the Lisbon Treaty agreed when some countries democratically voted not to incorporate it in their law. Read ‘Adults in the room’, a book written by a Socialist, to understand how the EU works, not the idealised version in your head. Also, it’s quite astonishing that you believe what Cameron said. You really are a political pendulum.

It would indeed be astonishing if anyone believed what a Tory PM said, whatever next.

Thank f*** we have a Tory PM guiding this situation rather than a Labour one. Please tell me, what is the Labour Party position on Brexit!? I cannot get a straight answer from Gusset so your response will be appreciated.

Still, from a rational perspective, most people clearly don't want a 'hard brexit', so whatever s*** version of leaving we end up with is apparently what we decided we wanted as a nation. [Link] - Ireland saves UK from Hard Brexit

But he is a Leaver. Always has been. A contrarian. You know the sort, of course. But he would keep us in the single market. That's it, basically. Nothing much to chew on. Yes, i would like a Norway-type model now as he does I reckon if staying is definitely not going to happen.

The two are not compatible and contradict each other. Leaving the EU means leaving the Single Market, the customs union and the ECJ notover arcing British law. Your view of Brexit is not Brexit.

When it didn't cost him he was an EU opponent as an MP in previous parliaments.....when he was a tiny minority in the Labour party....but when it actually mattered he was a reluctant remainer. In his own words....he's a seven out of ten on the EU.
