    If Cameron was going to make a stand it should have been at the point where the UK was facing new regulations. If he´d done it at that point he would have garnered a lot of support. Does the City think Cameron played a blinder:

    not really

    In the end whatever regulations come along they´ll affect the UK whether they like it or not, but by being sidelined means the UK now has no influence at all. It isn´t just a case that all the City´s business is in the UK they do a lot of business in Europe. That will inevitably be affected by new regulation.

      Events, dear boy. Cameron has to play the hand he's dealt - and that means he's not in a position to cover himself in Glory. I honestly think he's a decent chap making the best of a bad job - I'd rate him way above Major and Thatcher in that he's been considerably less nasty to us than either of them.

        The point is he said no, and he has to now not allow the no to become a yes

          So far the Govt did not do much in my view - the course is mildly different from the previous Govt.

                  Does anyone really know what the situation will be (as regards the Euro) in 3 weeks, never mind 3 months or 3 years?

                  We should learn to trust our beloved leader - he knows what he's doing. We hope.
