A leader entranced by ideals of national destiny, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair reluctantly abandoned his ambition to make the country the third cog in the European Union's Franco-German engine. So the question arose: if not at the heart of Europe, where should Britain be? In a speech in London on Jan 23, 2013,Prime Minister David Cameron boldly ventured an answer, thus closing an uncertain, decade-long chapter in the history of Britain's relationship with the EU. The prime minister committed his Conservative Party to loosening Britain's ties to Europe - particularly on crime, social affairs and the environment - and to putting the new settlement to a stark in-out referendum before the end of 2017. Eloquently, if vaguely, the prime minister imagined a more flexible network of states centred on the single market, each choosing where to co-operate and where to opt out. A new treaty might codify this new relationship, he suggested. If not, Britain could embark on a unilateral renegotiation.
