A deal was sealed to convince the Tories to campaign over a stay in EU. That should most likely guarantee that Uk will still be in the EU come next year as most Tories will campaign to stay inside the Union while Labours look split on the issue. Here's what Cameron got off of the deal
I think this is negative as pretty much most countries could now leverage the EU over a potential exit in the future. This gives the Front National and eurosceptic parties further hope.
It doesn't seem like he got that much to me. UK will still need to decide if staying makes sense considering the benefits and liabilities. The UK probably has more leverage than any other country to get exceptions so I don't expect this opens the door to other nations as much as it would seem.
He isn't wrong on this matter though, Britain has held EU hostage since Thatcher's rise. We can keep going even without them but now they get to have a special status since European parliament's economic policies won't be valid towards all the financial istitutions registered in the City. They have been basically blackmailing EU for years now and EU finally gave in to their requests.
To those what want the UK to exit, I'll be happy to oblige by ticking the LEAVE box
No offence to the wonderful people in the rest of Europe, but I feel the UK would be better off out of the EU.
The polls at the moment are showing a mixed picture. Poll results that are collected online tend to show more people for leave, but poll results that are collected by telephone are showing more people for remain.
Anyway, the referendum isn't until June, so the mood can easily change either way yet.

I think that leaving wouldn't be beneficial for you as there wouldn't be a free trade agreement anymore and the UK would suddenly stop sharing a common market with the rest of Europe causing the fall of exports but then again several European countries could also suffer a (not as) hard blow.
I think the REMAIN will win but given how most British Prime Ministers have been behaving (Tony Blair looks the exception in most recent times) and how much faith they have shown in everything that's been put forward by EU's parliament. They clearly don't believe in the European project

a) Trade is one of main arguments for staying in - and is a big one. However, outside of the EU, the UK can then have more favorable trade deals with the commonwealth countries instead, and there are countries around the world that do trade outside of trading blocks.
b) Another reason to remain is that the British can live and work in other European countries without the hassle of visas.
c) I think there is also the argument 'better the devil you know'.
On the other hand, some arguments for leave:
- Our immigration levels are so high. We are now increasing by 335,000 people per year, and we are only small islands. Everything in the UK is creaking trying to cope with a shortage of accommodation, GPs, school places, creaking infrastructure, etc, etc.
- The EU is expensive for us, it's bloated, it takes too long for decisions to be made, and it is increasingly becoming authoritarian. It's also looking like Germany, as the strongest economy in the EU, is now the de facto leader of the EU. And the unvoted for Juncker comes across as Germany's lap dog.
- TTIP is another reason to vote out. I think it would be much easier to avoid getting into this with just one layer of government rather than trying to avoid it with the EU trying to overrule our own government.
- Not having UK laws overwritten by EU laws. As an example, we have a serial rapist who we can't deport as he is using the European Court of Human Rights to try to avoid it.
I hope with all my heart that Britain goes out the EU, enough with their whining.
+1.
Though...at least you're from Italy which is seen very favourably in the UK. Imagine the case when you're from Eastern European country and they blame all their problems on you while looking for an excuse to bring more Syrian refugees.

Who exactly blames Eastern European countries for all problems in the UK, and makes excuses for bringing Syrian refugees?
It doesn't sound like any fellow Brits that I know of.
