Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union “within a few years” is a certainty as no government will be able to resist demands for an exit from a population incensed by the arrival of low-wage migrants, the leader of the UK Independence Party said.
Nigel Farage said prime minister David Cameron’s recent speech on Europe was the moment the debate changed. Mr Cameron would probably lose office in the next election, he said, but even if he won, he would be unable to persuade other EU leaders to amend treaty agreements.
“There is no substantial renegotiation to be had,” said Mr Farage. “He’ll get nowhere.” – (Reuters)
