Europe - do want want in or out?

[Old Cruser]

Lots of niggles in the bank benches at the moment about this.

Would we prefer as a country to vote whether to stay in or leave it.

Abu Qatada features a big debate on this - to me it seems as if our country can't do what it wants.

Personally I never really wanted 'in' in the first place, but the debate goes now cons say we would get a vote - apparently the only party which will give us one.

In or out?

Could have sworn we'd done this one before but I cant find it.
Just tbe clear Cameron is offering a referendum after the next election (if he wins which at the minute is a big if) on whether Britain stays in  the EU. This is the organisation that grew out of the old EEC and is primarily concerned with laws and economic policy.
Now in the case of Abu Qatada, that is dealt with by the European Court of Human Rights based on rules and laws that Britain would still be a signatory to and ruled by regardless of our membership of the EU.
Don't get the two confused.

Which just makes it even more confusing for people who don't know the difference.
Here's the Tory's latest announcement.
