Video viEUws.eu: Brexit debate exposes Cameron's London-centric thinking

Sean McGuire of the Confederation of British Industries (CBI) agrees with Cameron that the UK’s presence within a reformed EU is best for Britain and for Europe. But will the Cameron’s rhetoric of “renegotiating Britain’s relationship with the EU” - aimed squarely at his own Eurosceptic constituents - win friends in Brussels?

He argues Britain needs to give up its “grudging” attitude towards the European project, and present to its citizens a “realistic” picture of Britain’s standing in the EU.
