Downing street isnt much more than an admin office these days.
The EU has control over our purse strings on many of the real important matters - such as propping up the euro, which is a currency borne from political ambition and has no sound economic basis, and is therefore doomed to failure imo. Its not if but when. We are throwing good money after bad - and we dont actually have any money to throw at it.
We need a govt. with a backbone and British interests on its agenda - somewhere near the top of the agenda would be nice.

Seen elsewhere. A letter to an MP who voted for the IMF payment:

No mandate. No discussion with the electorate. No regard for the masses of people losing their jobs, livelihoods, homes or businesses in the midst of a domestic recession. No regard for an economy in deep debt and failing daily.

No conception of the deep hypocrisy, irony, and contemptible insult of the mantra "We're all in this together".

No, just the same, relentless, ideological crazed obsession with the useless, corrupt and irrelevant European Union.

Above all, no understanding of the deep, and growing, loathing on the part of the electorate for a political class seized with some sort of collective insanity. 

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Is it just me or is the eurozone going t*ts up? 

At some point in the not too distant future they will have cut loose one of the pigs (Greece probably) and when they do its just a matter of how quickly the whole thing slides down the slippery slope into the toilet where it belongs.
It will cause a whole lot of pain for quite a few years to come, and we will only have our leaders to blame (and ourselves for allowing them to get away with it) for taking the country down this cul de sac.
On the bright side, it will save this country from ruin in the long term.
Believe it or not, Tony Blair has said again, in the last week that the UK,s future belongs in the eurozone. He no doubt knows that it will do untold damage to the country of his birth,and which provided him with  his fame and fortune, but he still wants to be president of the U.S.E and it would be embarrassing for him if his own country wasnt a fully committed member state of the U.S.E
The phrase "self serving" doesnt begin to describe him.
God I hate that bloke.

Two polls in as many days show that 50% of us want to leave the EU. There is a glimmer of hope...at least when Cameron goes.
