Apparently David Cameron has decided to take what he can get from the EU and call it victory. I was particularly struck by this “concession”:
a clear long-term commitment to increasing competitiveness and taking concrete steps towards better regulation and reducing administrative burdens
The “concrete steps” presumably to replace the current wooden steps that weren’t leading anywhere. Seriously, though, how does a vague promise to take “concrete steps” in the future differ from a vague promise full stop?
My guess is that the referendum will still go against EU membership.
