A minister close to Prime Minister David Cameron is hinting the United Kingdom could leave the European Union, see the Reuters article in Yahoo News. Leave, or further reduce its ties.
As the article notes, the relationship between the U.K. and the E.U. has always been somewhat tentative. The U.K. has remained outside the euro zone and still operates border controls.
COTTonLINE would like to see the U.K. leave the E.U. and join a new bloc called the Anglosphere, which could also include the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and possibly Ireland. BTW, it will never happen - too logical.
