Unfortunately, Dave did too and he communicated that restricted view to EU leaders. No wonder they are shocked when the leave vote won.
It's a shame the EU cannot come up with a package that will keep the UK trading with Europe in a way that solves the problems of a conflicted nation and meets the needs of both remain and leave voters, as well as restoring good relations with our friends from the EU.
It's a pity Mrs Merkel did not help David "naughty nephew" Cameron as he has paid the price for trying to push through an EU policy to an unhappy British public.
The EU needs reform. We know that. They know that. We, the general public, are not looking for a special deal just for ourselves but a better deal for all the EU countries as there are people there who are just as unhappy as we are, as the Euro MP elections showed.
One of the clinchers for me was a French guy interviewed on television somewhere in the UK who when asked what the UK should do said we should leave. I wonder if Francoise Hollande was listening?
There is massive discontent across Europe and the EU needs to stop being in denial and start listening. Then they need to act to address the problems hightlighted. It's not rocket science. It's common sense if you want the UK and the EU to be happy, peaceful, fairer and prosperous places.
