All David Cameron's earlier phantom veto achieved was to undermine British influence - Alexander
31 January 2012
Douglas Alexander MP, Labour's Shadow Foreign Secretary, responding to David Cameron's comments at the EU summit, said:
"The unanswered question after this summit remains what exactly David Cameron achieved by walking out of the EU negotiations last month?
“With the EU institutions now involved, it seems clear that all his earlier phantom veto achieved was to undermine British influence, and so make it harder for Britain to protect its own interests in Europe and push for an effective solution to the eurozone’s problems.”
