Let’s get this right.We’re expected to believe,that an unsigned for,non existent amendment,to all the relevant treaties,regarding giving us special Confederal status,within an obviously Federal European governmental system,will deliver all that.While stopping ‘further’ integration isn’t the same thing as ‘returning’ powers ‘previously’ ‘already’ lost as advertised.While ‘if’ your claims are true how does a Union that supposedly allows any member to do what you’ve described not fit the definition of a Confederal arrangement anyway…:
I have never argued against confederalism, I have merely pointed out My belief that we should remain as part of the EU, if we can hold an autonomous position within the EU then all the better.
I also believe that, other Nations within the EU, whom don’t hold the weight of power that the UK does, are looking to see how this all pans out, and might choose to force the issue for themselves, I’m primarily thinking Denmark and Sweden, both have not yet adopted the Euro, despite reaching the parameters to accept monetary union.
This is one of the reasons that I believe that the EU will make future trade deal negotiations drag on for years, stifling growth here, and there, as a way of putting off other smaller countries (economies) from going the way of Brexit.
I think that the Architects of the European project, would accept, a group of countries being part of the EU, but autonomous from much of its legislation/laws/rules. In order to keep the wider project on the road, the sometimes talked of 2 speed Europe.Just to save you the effort, that is a kind of amalgam of Federal, and Confederal, but unlike the US, this eutopia will be achieve without bloodshed
As I said it seems clear that whatever so called ‘deal’ Cameron did it wasn’t subject to any signed amendment to all the treaties regarding our status at least.IE it doesn’t exist nothing has changed.
As for an ‘amalgam’ of Federal and Confederal that’s just another impossible contradiction in that it can only be one or the other.The two ideas being totally incompatible and mutually exclusive.As the Americans found out in 1861 and to date.On that note the message to the in campaign is be careful what you wish for.
