Cameron's speech on Europe

Sometimes we can be too close to the sound and fury of local events to reach a balanced judgment on them, and people who are more distant have an advantage over us.

This German view seems to me to be a case in point.  Cameron's speech is a misconceived gamble for party political advantage with insufficient regard for the interests of the country.  He has conceded control to unknowable future outcomes.
