British veto opens up door to two-speed EU

BRITAIN opened up the possibility of a two-speed EU with its decision to veto treaty change, isolating itself from the rest of the member states.

Prime Minister David Cameron’s actions forced the other member states to create their own separate grouping revolving around closer economic integration.

“This is the biggest setback for Britain since (Charles) De Gaulle vetoed their membership in the 1960s” said Brussels-based political integration expert Piotr Maciej Kaczynski, of the Centre for European Policy Studies.
