So the EU debate enters a new phase now that Mr Cameron has returned from Brussels with some sort of agreement. I'm sure we'll see plenty of extreme views over the coming months, but at leats we only have to wait until late June before we get the result.
This vote will be quite different than our 'normal' voting in that it's not really a political party issue. Both Labour and Torys have both factions, and some big names e.g. Boris Johnson who usually command a few column inches is not siding with his leader. Therefore, the normal Tory or Labour Bashing gangs will have to think of a new policy if they are to win this one. I even wonder if the Tories have split intentionally so as to garner more favourable support for Mr Cameron's stance of wanting to remain in Europe. What I mean is, that if the 'stay in' option was seen as purely a vote for the Tory party, the might not get the result that want. Mind you, I'm probably over-thinking that one.
May be he'll do a U-turn in a few weeks and bring loads of votes across with him? I'll stop now.
Luckily for us, Bernie Ecclestone doesn't pick who should run the EU otherwise we would have Vladimir Putin in charge. He thinks Putin is the man for the job, able to sort out Syria and do a jolly good job without being weighed down by that 'democracy' thing.
I wonder if he realises that Syria isn't in Europe?
