In reply to albona. The reason why President De Gaulle kept Britain waiting for ten years before joining the Union was that he never believed in Britain's sincerity about the Union of European countries. Britain was always sceptical abut the EU.

The EU has already informed Alex Salmond ( leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party and current First Minister ) that an independent Scotland would not have the automatic right to join, but would have to wait along with other applicants.

An independent Scotland would also not be welcomed by Spain, which has a problem with Catalan calls for independence.

One thing for sure, and Mr Cameron knows it, is that Europe has to change.

For many people it is a big complicated bureaucratic talking-shop and the only actions taken are restrictions on all of us.

The people of Europe feel that it is only serving its bureaucrats, MEPs etc and making them richer out of our pockets.

Also Europe is being filled with intolerant Muslims trying to impose their will and ways on everyone else.

We in the west do not give much importance to religion and are tolerant but they are the opposite.

Europeans feel like this but the ones at the EU offices are detached from people.

The solution is to help immigrants in their own country and if there is instability (yes why not) help them militarily to eradicate the reasons. Also to avoid future troubles let in only Christians (Oh yeah I can hear some of you).

Do you remember Enoch Powell in England with his ‘rivers of blood speech in the 70s? Most British say he was so right now but then they were so scandalized.

In reply to albona.

They got a fraction of the vote when you look at the whole of the EU.

Plus, I think that this way those campaigning for a seat in the European Parliament will be part of an EU political party, and we can do away with using the MEP elections as some sort of vendetta towards governments when we should be voting on issues.

Leave the protesting to the local council elections- if someone unsavoury gets a seat, their damage will be limited to just that one area.

In reply to A. Charles. Actually kev, your response to A.Charles is the most typical of a Maltese "bahnan"
