The European International Press, Commentators and Politicians have all tried to present the admirable speech by David Cameron on Wednesday 23rd January 2013, as an attempt to ease his political problems at home in Great Britain !
This is why, they allege, he wants concessions not to leave the EU ! They say he wants to renegotiate the conditions of Britain's membership and then organise an "in or out" referendum !!!
This is whishful thinking on the part of "Europeans", particularly MEP's who do not want to recognise that there are many weaknesses in the way EU business is at present conducted.
Cameron pointed out big flaws. The lack of Democracy: electors in the EU seldom have a word to say, as in the case of the Lisbon Treaty which was "waived through" by National MP's in all the EU member Parliaments (except in Ireland) !
Cameron wants more Democracy in the EU and also a revision of the "Human Rights Act" ! The lack of control and the current overrun of EU overhead costs in Brussels, means that all countries in the EU will have to pay !!!
Cameron did not mention the problems of the Operating Structure of the EU, of the EUROZONE, etc.... There are many matters which must be debated if the EU is to become an Accepted Operating Organization ! The Lisbon Treaty and others must be updated but not necessarily destroyed !!!
One can only hope that EU politicians will now address the real problems Cameron covered in his speech, but with an honest attitude !
