You can suddenly have a series of countries waking up and saying, 'I want the same status as the Brits,' which will be, de facto, the dismantling of the rest of Europe.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do not want Britain to turn its back on Europe or the rest of the world.
I believe that Europe without Britain at the heart will be less reform-driven, less open, less international Europe.
I don't want a tailor-made approach where the British have the best of two worlds. That will be too big an incentive for others to leave and kill the European idea, which is based on shared responsibilities.
I personally hope and wish that Britain will stay part and parcel of the European Union.
I want Britain to punch its weight in the European Community.
I hope Britain stays in the European Union, but I don't want to decide for the British.
What we have to do is reinvent the idea of Europe.
Some day, following the example of the United States of America, there will be a United States of Europe.
We should seek to cooperate with Europe, not to divide Europe to a fictitious new and a fictitious old.
We want the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union.
