Euro Area

"I don't think it is in Britain's interests to leave the EU but I do think what it is increasingly becoming the time for is a new settlement between Britain and Europe, and I think that new settlement will require fresh consent. In the next parliament, I think there will be opportunities for a fresh settlement and for new consent to that settlement. There is a reason why. The euro is a currency with 17 different countries. I think, increasingly, one currency will mean one economic policy. They are going to change and that will give us opportunities for changing our relationship with Europe. I argue for Britain's membership because I think it is in our interests. If I didn't think it was in our interests, I wouldn't argue for British membership."

Well that's a long way of saying jack squat. What is this new settlement? What changes do you refer to? Why is it in our interests?

He will claim it's a "new relationship"; get an opt out on the banking union and maybe allow British law to overule European law on extradition etc but that's about all he wants.

British law already outranks european law on extradition, only if someones human rights were at risk would european law interfere.

So basically he will be codding ye with something ye already have.
