Greek finance minister warns against Britain leaving Europe
Days after David Cameron promised a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union, Yannis Stournaras warned a potential departure from the bloc would be an error.
"It would be a grave mistake for Britain to leave the EU", Greece's finance minister told the BBC on Tuesday.
"Britain belongs to Europe politically, financially and from a cultural point of view."
The minister added he would not accept Britain renegotiating the terms of its EU membership.
"No", he said. "That would open a Pandora's Box. Everybody would like to do the same. So that would spell the end of the European Union."

That's not a comment designed to convince a friend to change their mind or not do something rash, it's a raw threat and offers no viable alternatives for negotiation.

That's some funny shit considering our own sad state of affairs. chuckle
He's probably talking more with his previous ECB role than Greek finance minister one, he's not even elected ffs, doesn't represent Greek people in any way. Brits get out now while you still can.

Plaid Cymru: Wales must have control over its own EU destiny


Wales should be able to stay in the EU even if England votes to leave, according to Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood.

David Cameron insists he wants to stay in the EU but has pledged to renegotiate the relationship to claw back powers and offer voters a choice of that deal or exit by the end of 2017 if the Conservatives are returned to power in 2015.

They are keeping it quiet outside of the UK and stirring up anti english properganda in scotish and welsh politics.

Fact of the matter is the only real alternative scotland has once it leaves the UK is Joining the EURO.

Really all the scotish people are doing is chasing off the english with a pitchfolk whilst the europeans are the ones actually stealing the horses from the barn.

england/scotland/wales has its divisions, but it has worked for hundreds of years, the EU isnt working. Why the scotish people and government would think joining a failing economic and political union is a good idea is beyond me.

I guess its the only way to get the UK further integrated into EUROPE. Split them up and separate, divide and conquer.

Re: Greek finance minister warns against Britain leaving Europe
From what I understand of the Welsh issue, the argument being made is that they (as in the Welsh) receive more out of the EU then they (the Welsh) put in.. therefore it is seen as stupid for them to leave.

As for the Greek minister, he is simply reinforcing the threats already made..

However I think this p*ssing contest is more about how they get Britain out than threats to keep Britain in.. the Europeans and indeed the Americans seem intent on making threats which they know will result in a bit of reverse psychology at the polls.. while the other hand the British Government is pushing the buttons that'd mean we get thrown out rather than be given a vote to leave..

A pretty complicated game being played overall to deal with the major issue that if UK splits and the independent parts of the UK join/leave the RU then that paves the way for other areas of Europe to take the same route..

Indeed given how Europe is structured, any old Kingdom/Dutchy/Principality going back the last 2 millennia could in theory be able to declare itself independent of it's nation and join/leave the EU..

Also given the fact that the if the UK was given a vote to leave/stay in the EU it would also pave the way for other nations of the EU to do the same.

Keeping the UK in the EU will cause the EU to lose control.. Think of it this way, the UK is devolving back from Central government at the same time as the EU is pushing for more central government..

Simply put the peoples of the continent and the peoples of these Isles are going in opposite directions (not sure about the Irish.. I can't help but feel they are in between a rock and a hard place.. I imagine having a non EU country between them and their trade with the continent will cause a lot of companies to leave Ireland and indeed cause the Irish a whole heap of issues)

So it is better for all (aside from the Irish) if Britain is seen as unreasonable and is thrown out, that is if they can not woo us back, but given the fact they are making no effort to woo us, and indeed are only ever resorting to threats I suspect that we are actually on the path to being thrown out.

The problem is The United Kingdom is in Europe, under the terms set by Europe any new country joining will have to use the Euro. Whether the Scots and Welsh like it, they would be classed as 'new' countries and as such will have to except the Euro as their currency. This is all being played down, however it is in the terms laid forth and if Europe is not willing to re-negotiate our terms, who really thinks they will give a fuck about the Welsh and Scots

Scotland I hate to say it, but if you vote for independence it is going to be about the shortest lived independence ever.

Remember we've already been fucked since Heath with Europe, they wanted a federal Europe with no borders or separate countries, go and have a look, but the governments be it red, blue or yellow have fucked us for their own benefit, Major fucked us with Maastricht and Bliar and Gormless with Lisbon, and muppet, well he doesn't even think we deserve a chance to vote on it. Not that I believe we'd ever get the chance.

Ukip have some strange policies, bit like the tea party in the US, a bit of religion mixed with politics, but at least they'd give us the vote before anyone else
