Will we now revert back to the Common Market?

ie what we actually signed up for.

the arguments in favour of leaving are certainly the sexiest. We won't have to buy straight bananas any more, for a start.

The point about media misrepresentation is that only the EU is big enough to keep media owners in their place. The leaders of individual countries are in Murdoch's pocket, as the world now knows. He wants to keep them there, as do other press barons.

Hence the lies.

... and the confusion between the European Court of Human Rights and the EU is one distortion to highlight, perhaps. #

I think you are right there is confusion but there is little doubt that our industry and society has suffered by the way EU regulations are interpreted by us especially in the application of Human Rights and Health and Safety, a number of people have died as a result. As you know criminals are exploiting the Human Rights acts and they are being supported by the EU . Employment law is another area that is stifling growth in this country. It isn't always the EU regulation that causes the problem but rather that the appeal processes covering almost every aspect of our lives can be taken to EU court which costs a fortune and seems to favour the appellant.
I went to a Chamber of Commerse meeting and the biggest complaint was the fear that companies had of taking on labour in this climate of EU regulations.

As things stand , and this is nothing to do with Cameron's veto, we have never had much influence in Europe. for the past 50 odd years. So what's new ?

nothing, but the chickens are coming home to roost, wait till the relatively small fry countries realise what they will have to do in order to keep on taking the money, jump through hoops, and the people of many of these countries are not going to like the deal that will be, or is on the table, watch this space.

"the biggest complaint was the fear that companies had of taking on labour in this climate of EU regulations"

it's a pity that it never seems to cross these people's minds that "labour" is real people, often with mortgages, families, aspirations of their own. While it's good that business is not over-regulated, there needs to be protection for them.
It speaks volumes for the priorities of David Cameron's half of the coalition that they will jump through hoops to protect the city of London while at the same time are willing to see EU employment laws cast aside. The Tories have been looking for an excuse to ditch this for years and now they think they've seen their chance.
