William Hague is quite right, that Great Britain as a whole has good reasons to want the referendum promised by David Cameron on "Europe" !!! To be more precise, is the real question not whether GB would accept to be in the EU but without being saddled by the cost of EUROZONE problems and solutions !!! ?
David Cameron as Prime Minister seems to be well aware that Britain and its leaders, in industry or in Parliament, are not yet at all keyed-up or informed of the complexities resulting from a vote to quit the EU.
What Britain needs, therefore, and quickly, is a working group (not a Quango !) of MPs from all three political parties to identify all the key issues. The financial impact must also be calculated but at a later stage. The effect of abandoning the Human Rights Act and Maastricht should all be clearly explained.
Ripple effects on immigration and freedom from the European Courts of Justice must all be reviewed. This is no small task and unless it is undertaken no one can really say what the impact of a decision by voters, one way or the other, will be.
However, there is one problem which this blog has mentioned several times. Britain must be ready to control future unwanted immigrants. British Passports should only be issued to immigrants with stern conditions. Identity Cards must be introduced to enable the necessary controls, particularly for short-stay "visitors". This is urgent and a priority.
If David Cameron, with the help of William Hague, does not create this working group now, Britain will continue to pay through the nose.
The working Group could perhaps make a quick estimation of the cost of doing nothing over the next ten years !!!
