Whats the forum view on the recent suggestions surrounding the EU referendum and individual nation vetos?
Northern Ireland has got a lot of money from the EU over the past years I think, so they are unlikely to vote to leave. Scotland has much less of a UKIP presence than South of the border, and with the EU issue being an argument in favour of remaining in the Union (and the Independence campaign wanting to stay in the EU), I can't see a majority voting to leave the EU. Wales is harder to judge given how well UKIP did in the elections this year. I am fearful that if there is an exit vote in the EU referendum, we would probably be presiding over the breakup of the UK.
I don't have particularly strong feelings on David Cameron (or indeed many other political leaders), but I do think allowing this referendum to go ahead will probably taint his premiership with the breakup of the UK (after only just avoiding it with the Scottish referendum).
