    that is never going to happen, the last thing most continental nations will willingly allow is that traumatic event to be revisited, fortunately, we have leverage and they can choose to grant what we want willingly, as a thank you to a non-euro nation that has just chipped in £13b for their dodgy currency-zone, or we can do it the other way, but we will get what we want.

    i voted for the following changes:

    1) The referendum lock
    2) A United Kingdom sovereignty bill
    3) A guaranteed say for MP’s if Ministers want the EU to extend its powers
    4) Opt out from the charter of fundamental rights
    5) Return of powers over criminal justice
    6) Repatriation of control over social and employment legislation

    I expect to see them done, as does 37% of the electorate, and the majority of tory MP's, and I am perfectly willing to see the UK go down in financial chaos from a collapsed government if they do not enact that exact plan.
