EU "WAKE-UP" SPEECH FROM CAMERON AWAITED WITH TREPIDATION !!!

David Cameron's announced speech on the EU has provoked animosity, anti-British comments in the International Press, particularly from EU "high-ups" !!!

The comfortable organisation of the EU fears that some "home truths" will be revealed in his speech.  The reactions from the EU have often been in the style that the British are not "Europeans" !!!

Without in any way knowing what David Cameron intends to say, there are a number of problems that can be pinpointed which reveal the confusion and political obstinance that reigns in the EU at present !!!

1)  The EU is not a "future Federal State".  It is a collection of heterogeneous countries each of which seeks to benefit from its adhesion to the EU.

2)  The EU seeks to impose EU "directives" to further its aims over the heads of EU electors !!!

3)  The EU is not democratic !!! It systematically sidesteps referendums in the EU: (The Lisbon treaty is a prime example !!!) 

4)  The EU avoids changes.  Its' MEPs are elected every 5 years come what may !!!  Should MEPs not be elected at the same time as local MPs every time there is a General Election in the country they are deemed to represent ?  Would this not bring the wind of change to EU affairs ?

5)  Should the EU Parliament not elect its Prime Minister and a Cabinet of Ministers for a period of about 5 years ?  At present key "Officials" (Barroso, Lady Aston, etc.) are "nominated"  by the European Council. 

Treaties, Constitutions and Conventions must be revised.  Old principles of 50 years ago must be updated.  A prime example are the numerous modifications to the European Human Rights Act.  Judgements covered by this Act infringe the Judicial Independence of British Courts and will certainly be covered by David Cameron in his Speech.

The following matters will, justifiably, also be criticized by David Cameron !!!

a)  Not every country wants or needs the EURO as its currency !!!  Saving the EURO at all costs, instead of allowing countries to "opt out", seems to be questionable if not ruinous !!!

b)  The non-control of immigrants into the EU cannot be   tolerated.  The EU must police its borders and other points of arrival like airports and ports !!!  The cost must be borne by all countries on an equitable basis !!!

c)  Imports from outside the EU must be controlled.

d)  Migration inside the EU must be officially controlled.

e)  The EU should determine an agreed Foreign Policy.  The united reaction by the EU to world events (Syria, Terrorist atrocities, etc.) is non-existent at present.

f)  Should the Death Penalty not be adopted for Terrorists who kill haphazardly ?  Likewise should the Death Penalty not be the punishment for murderers who kill again ?

These are but a few of the problems which are creating "bad will" in the EU.  David Cameron will certainly be critical on the ever increasing costs of the EU.  The reality is that every pound extra invoiced by the EU to cover its overspending, is money he cannot spend in Britain !!!

The EU needs a big overhaul.  We shall see how David Cameron attacks this problem !
