After numerous visits to EU Leaders in their countries, and then two long days and one night of discussions at the Council of Europe meeting in Brussels last Weekend, David Cameron obtained the Agreement he wanted !
This covered particularly changes to the wording in EU Treaties and clarified the position of Britain with respect to the EUROZONE.
This Agreement was adopted by all the 27 other Leaders of the EU. Yesterday this permitted David Cameron as Prime Minister, to explain and justify it to MPs in the House of Commons.
He gave the reasons for this Agreement and why there should be no "Brexit" by Britain. His Presentation was masterful, as were his replies in the Session of "Questions and Answers" which followed.
Today near London, in Slough, he addressed a Public Meeting and explained the effect of the Agreement and answered Questions. He underlined the dangers which lurk if Britain leaves the EU, particularly the effect which this could have on Britain's Trade and Security.
David Cameron, who is 49 years old, gently chided some of those who want a "Brexit" to leave the EU, the Ministers in his Government for example, but particularly his Oxford University friend and ally, Boris Johnson the Mayor of London !
The Electors will decide what happens next, in the Referendum on June 23, 2016. Cameron also clearly said that at the end of his second term as Prime Minister, in 2020, he would not be standing for re-election himself !
Debates during the next few months promise to be lively and interesting !
