If this all pans out to a logical solution, then I think the UK will eventually free itself of the EU.

Good for Britain, but good for the EU? I doubt it.
Whilst many would be glad to see the back of the UK, will they be glad to see the back of our financial contribution?

Britain is the 2nd biggest net contributor to the EU budget.
Only Germany pays more in and gets less back.

Its very hard to find numbers that agree and obviously the EU itself does not make a big noise about it, but anyone who thinks the EU does not need the UK should investigate this.

If and when Britain leaves I will celebrate, but also feel sorry for the German people, as I think they will be forced by their government to pay alot more to prop up the EU.

UK referrendum now!
