Why is this speech so significant?
How have previous British Prime Ministers talked of Europe?
How have previous British Prime Ministers talked of Europe?
David Cameron, the British Prime
Minister, said during his speech regarding UK-EU relations on 23rd January 2013
that: “…when we have negotiated that new settlement, we will give the British
people a referendum with a very simple in or out choice: to stay in the EU on
these new terms, or come out altogether.”
Questions:
- Does Cameron want the UK to leave the EU (why/why not)?
- Why has Cameron decided to give this speech now?
- What is the content of the “new settlement” Cameron wants to negotiate?
- What has been the reaction to the speech in the UK?
- How have the Governments of EU member states reacted to Cameron’s speech?
- Is Cameron’s attitude to the EU any different from that of previous UK Prime Ministers?
- Do you think the UK will leave the EU?
