This was not a trivial decision and it deserved consideration - liberal, wet or otherwise. Meanwhile, it is typical of the EU that David Cameron has resigned, but Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker have not. The EU has mislaid one of its largest net contributors, which has huge implications for its finances, whilst other countries may also decide to leave. This happened on their watch and is the product of the EU's "refusal to engage on real issues" and their minimalist approach to reform/change. They probably enjoyed watching David Cameron return to face his electorate armed with the skimpiest of reforms and had no thought for the possible consequences. Even now the EU line is that it is business as usual for the remaining 27 members.
But, hey, the EU is run by people who know better and don't need to listen because they are not elected. Niall L.
