The European Union at present is not "united". It has become a collection of countries which have joined the EU mainly to benefit from anything available which forwards their National Interests !!!
If Britain needs the EU the real question also becomes whether all the member countries of the EU have something to offer !!! Or do they need the EU more for what they could get ? To be a member of the EU is a question of "give" and "get" !
The question of what any country can get is again not simple to answer. In the EU there are three levels of political "respect" !!!
a) The 27 National Leaders, one from each country, who participate in the periodical Summit Meetings.
b) The unelected members of European "Boards" like Barroso, who is head of the "EU Commission". They are chosen and nominated by the National Leaders.
c) The elected MEP's (Members of the European Parliament).
One way or the other, to try to push through a law or modification of current rules becomes a lengthy task.
The solutions to problems Britain has, or any other country faces, are opposed by any number of Minority Groups ! They are not necessarily politically motivated, they are minorities, often those who want to extend Rights, not only Human Rights, but those of small groups.
In these circumstances, a Leader like David Cameron, can well ask himself where he should start to unravel this mess !
The EU has an uncontrolled, illogical, approach to solving its own problems ! This is really the fundamental obstacle in the EU which David Cameron must unraval. Other Leaders must also identify this reality and overcome it !!! The alternative is to accept a stalemate situation !!!
