But we cannot be absolutely certain of that yet.

I -as her husband- has her same rights today. So I am looking for a job.<br />Does Cameron's proposed change means -that it succeeds- I will need to leave the UK?<br />Thanks!

Just one non-legal point re the following passage: <br /><br />"He confirmed this in his speech, when he said that he stood by every word of his Bloomberg speech of January 2013."<br /><br />That's true - he did say that - but everything else he said in and around the speech suggests that the other points have fallen away. <br /><br />This was picked up by MPs Carswell and Reckless back in June - the final straw causing them to defect - along with Dan Hannan MEP who blogged about it at the time here: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danielhannan/100276242/david-cameron-has-dropped-the-idea-of-a-new-deal-the-referendum-will-be-on-the-existing-membership-terms/<br /><br />In short, those words may have been "just words" in an attempt to signal to listeners that he's being consistent over time.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
