A New EU Threat.

Britain faces new isolation threat from eurozone 'caucus'. [Telegraph.]

Conservative Party policy that Britain 'should be in Europe, but not run by Europe' is increasingly untenable - David Cameron must have a plan to take to the table
Britain will be marooned inside a "permanent minority" in European Union decision making in just three years' times after rule changes kick in on member states' voting powers, according to a new report.

Conservative Party policy that Britain 'should be in Europe, but not run by Europe' is increasingly untenable.The document seen by The Sunday Telegraph shows that under changes already agreed to in the Lisbon Treaty, eurozone countries voting as a "caucus" will have a permanent in-built majority in the EU's Council of Ministers - its main decision-making body - from November 2014.
 
So. QUIT NOW! So much for the EU deceivers who have stated that 'we need to be in the middle of it all in order to be able to influence policy'. Fatuous!
On the same day that we see a senior official planning the demise of national flags in favour of the EU Abomination Rag (as Scott Joplin would have undoubtedly called it) - we also find that 'we are not allowed to be outside the eurozone'. Extortion will be employed - yet again!
Actually, the point is moot in any case. What can we influence with a miniscule voice in: The EU Commission, The Council Of Ministers and fewer than 8% of the MEPs in Brussels (and Strasbourg.)?

Elephantine Tragedies.
