The question here is different. Does the UK (or any other European country) want to be member in the EU? This is a simple question that could and should be asked in a referendum. If the people want it okay - if they do not the country has to leave. We need much more direct democracy in Europe.

They'll never ask that question though because they're afraid of the answer.

However, most people with good common sense realise that trading with Europe is essential to the economic stability of the UK and that good relations with our neighbours in Europe are crucial also for Britain's security.

I can't stand all these people who say our future is either with the US or Europe, GET REAL! our future depends on both and probably vice versa!

Fully agreed! The childish "divison" of the western world that wa triggered by those morons Chirac and Schroeder should be history soon.
