Farage looks truly rattled. If the UK exits the EU this way then he'll never get the credit for it.

I would have thought that Farage was busy with panto at this time of the year.

Let`s just wait and see if he is right. Hague claims that relations with Merkel and Sarkozy are good. I don`t believe him, I`m sure they are livid and will do their best to do us down at every opportunity.
Every day that passes brings us nearer to the happy day when we quit the socialist EU.

It must be getting more and more obvious all with half a brain that the only sensible course is to get out of the EU altogether.

Farage clearly doesn't understand the end game. He'll get what he wants eventually but it'll because DC has engineered a position (and you can say he was pushed into it if you don't believe he was clever enough) whereby we just have to sit back now and watch as the EU 26 try to bring in rules that will conflict with our interests and force us to refuse to abide by them. Eventually they'll tell us to go home and they won't be able to blame UK agititators as they'll have done it all to themselves.

Farage has been exposed for what he and UKIP are really in politics for and that is the themselves.
I would have thought Farage and UKIP would be pleased by this development as it means he is a day closer to no longer being an MEP - His plan and UKIP's is to disband is it not: If the UK leaves the political institutions of the EU?
No, Farage looks shifty on this as do some of his people who leave comments on blogs all the time. They give the impression that they are putting party before country.

To We the People
I am certainly relieved that Cameron did what a British PM is supposed to do - and protected the interests of the UK above those of the EU. If Major had done that when the Maastrict Treaty was on the table and had vetoed it, we wouldn'd be in this position now.
However, some recognition is due to UKIP and the EU-refusniks in the Conservative Party: without our sustained campaign for British independence from the EU-empire, we would now be fully subsumed with no way out.
Cameron has only taken the first tiny step towards the UK regaining control over its destiny. In many areas we are totally beholden to the EU and until we revert to a trade-only agreement nothing wil change.
Nigel Farage is a patriot who has put the interests of the UK above all else - as do the rest of UKIP. I see no reason (yet) to abandon them.

Farage is wrong and seems ridiculous here. We should leave the EUSSR when all else has failed. It won't be long.
