The British Parliament has voted overwhelmingly against holding a referendum on leaving the European Union. A petition of over 100 thousand signatures from the public had called for the debate. The government earlier ordered its MPs to vote against the motion - or face penalties. Despite this, dozens of David Cameron's party members defied the order, in what's been the biggest internal challenge he's faced as Prime Minister. But Jon Gaunt, from the 'Vote UK out of the EU' campaign, says Britain never signed up for what the EU turned out to be.

1. Yep. The EU failed.

Most wanted it to be an alliance against international corporatism, or at least hoped it would turn out to be that. Instead they got corporate rulers with no respect for the countries being ruled.

2. Yep.

They should have started out slower, perhaps France and Germany. However, they were very eager to say "we are the new superpower", without realizing it takes time to get there, and a sense of unified purpose. The EU may live, but only once the Russians or Germans step in and finally decide who gets to rule the Empire.
