![]() So, for his 2015 re-election campaign, Cameron will effectively run for Brexit. I realize a lot of this issue is subject to conditions: Cameron would have to be re-elected, he would have to keep his promise to organize the referendum, Brits would have to say no to Europe (based on many polls, for the time being, it looks like it would be the case, but things can change fast!).īrixit is far from happening, but it is worth putting on the radar map! The latest spat, the actual risk for Brixit, came from England’s current Prime Minister David Cameron’s Januannouncement that should he be re-elected around 20, he would ask by referendum whether England should remain in the EU.Ī negative answer, by popular choice, would make Brexit official and a reality. The historical reasons for this slew of compromises are well documented, so suffice to summarize that they reflect 30 years of alternating cuddling and black-mailing between England and the EU. It benefits from the 4 main European freedoms of circulation (freedom of labor, capital, goods and services), while keeping a sovereign Central Bank (the CBE), its own currency and many special rules. The background, just for memory, is pretty simple: England joined the EU with a very privileged and independent status. Ironically, it’s pretty interesting to see Scotland playing the tricks on the United Kingdom that the UK is playing on the EU! It’s almost like watching a game of Russian dolls! ![]() Now, how do we get there and why pay attention to Brexit? England is going to become the closest thing to a fiercely independent tax accommodating country (maybe not a full blown Tax Haven – that’s more for the BVI), welcoming all the spurned individuals & entities from an ever, either imploding or federalizing, schizophrenic European Union.
