Are you all mad? Getting out of europe will make the UK economy even less competitive. For good or bad we have come to rely overly on exports to our continental neighbours, so until our business leaders rebalance their companies' dependance on markets in the EU versus the RotW (something no government seems interested in) we would damage our recovery for years - possibly for a lifetime! Better working on reform from within: and that will only happen through forging alliances - another thing the party's leadership seems uncomfortable with!

Gove at the top is no surprise - destroying state education and ruining life chances for working-class kids doesn't worry most privately schooled and private school using tories!
