Well he has pretty much pi**ed off the "rest" of Europe, and while this is certainly a momentary gain in charming conservatives and EU critics at home, it will influence Britain's international stance - we will see if this is a positive sign and outcome for the british economy. I also doubt England will or wants to be a member of the EU very much longer, and some european countries may be even glad about that. This is bullsh!t, a strong Europe with Britain is the way to go, but since everyone seems to cook his own national soup after 40 years of this union .. and the future of economy and commerce lies in the east (read: Russia, and China) for sure.

They say the Euro was the "price for the german reunification", but i wonder who said that, and why. Imho it was just a political and miltary decision, with Russia not able to pay their military anymore. I also wonder why an Euro is really necessary, apart from simplifying trade and commerce of course.
