It's as well to remember David Cameron's words

In January 2013 David Cameron asked: 'What is the point of the EU'

He said: “People feel that the EU is heading in a direction that they never signed up to.

They resent the interference in our national life by what they see as unnecessary rules and regulation. And they wonder what the point of it all is.

Put simply, many ask ‘why can’t we just have what we voted to join - a common market?’

They are angered by some legal judgements made in Europe that impact on life in Britain.

Some of this antipathy about Europe in general, really relates of course to the European Court of Human Rights, rather than the EU. And Britain is leading European efforts to address this.

There is, indeed, much more that needs to be done on this front. But people also feel that the EU is now heading for a level of political integration that is far outside Britain’s comfort zone.

They see Treaty after Treaty changing the balance between Member States and the EU. And note they were never given a say.

They’ve had referendums promised - but not delivered. They see what has happened to the Euro. And they note that many of our political and business leaders urged Britain to join at the time.”

More of the same will not secure a long-term future for the eurozone.

More of the same will not see the European Union keeping pace with the new powerhouse economies.

More of the same will not bring the European Union any closer to its citizens.

More of the same will just produce more of the same – less competitiveness, less growth, fewer jobs.”

I believe the guy did the country a great service by deciding on the referendum.
He gave us a chance to get our freedom back and we should thank him for that.
What we do with that chance as a country is now up to us.

Perhaps we should put his statue up in Parliament Square, because lets face it he did far more good for the country than Thatcher ever did.

But Cameron also believed that we would vote to remain He made no plans for a leave vote and ran off with his tail between his legs as soon as the leave vote was declared winner.
Do any of you really think that Cameron wasn't looking for a better job among the EU political heirachy?

Not all EU legislation was Naff though.

Really.

Yes, really.

I agree but it's up to us the voters to hold our MPs feet to the fire to do the best for us. No more coasting along make them do what we pay enormous amount for.
