David Cameron’s Dangerous Game.
According to Mattias Mattijis in “David Cameron’s Dangerous Game.” Foreign Affairs. 92(5), 2013: pp10-16, a British exit from the EU will not be the result of rational political or economic calculations. Mattias Mattijis says David Cameron is playing dangerous game that is the flirtation concerning possible withdrawal from the European Union. The right-wing has been putting pressure on Cameron to withdraw from the EU and this actions as emulating those of other Prime Ministers like Margaret Thatcher, with the resulting negatives against the conservative party. The relationship between United Kingdom and Europe has never amicable, so it looks like a marriage of convenience. Nowadays, Cameron and his chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, have put British economy’s lack of growth down to the European sovereign debt crisis not his own government’s problems. That’s the one reason why many British people are in favor of leaving the EU. However, the author says the idea that economy of the United Kingdom would be better off outside the EU is misguided. If the British leave the Common Market in Europe, economy of the British would be restricted than now. Also, the EU will loose their power on economic and defense policy. Isolation of the British apart from the EU would be harmful both the British and the EU. Therefore, Cameron should make an objective observation of the situation of his country and appease the Euroskeptics in his party. The United Kingdom should remain in the Europe community and make amicable relationship with the them.
