A strange situation is about to happen within the European Union. While it seems that the union is solidary and exists in mutual understanding, not all member countries are willing to continue joint partnership. Great Britain, especially its Prime Minister David Cameron, is the most active in the question of leaving the EU. The politician insists on holding a referendum on further EU membership as soon as possible. Of course “as soon as possible” in such a serious matter does not mean weeks or even months. According to the head of the British Government, the referendum is going to be held until 2017. Such announcement is not the first for the official; Cameron heads the Conservative Party that has brought forward the proposal several times. Now those supporting the exit from the EU should wait for the May elections and, in case of winning, initiate the referendum on the UK membership. It is noteworthy that the premier is not that categorical in this issue: as an alternative he offers other EU member countries a reformation scheme of the union. The important part of reformation is changes to migration rules, in particular, to stop EU migrants coming into the UK to claim benefits. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is against such ideas, she said she would not allow anyone to override the EU’s principle of free movement of workers. Maybe the events happened in France will change Merkel's opinion.
