Strategies: The UK says "non." Bravo
"We woz robbed," the cry erupts from football terraces when a team loses. That's how many Britons feel now the full extent of first the accession, in the 1970s, to the EC (as it then was) and then the loss of slugs of sovereignty under the Maastricht Treaty in the 1990s. Famously, (and, to a degree, probably apocryphally), General de Gaul's response to British requests during the 1970s negotiations was a resounding "non." Now, a British Prime Minister, the sometimes criticised for being "young" and "inexperienced" David Cameron, has had the courage to respond in like terms. Bravo.
