The only ones presently slowing things down are Germany and the nationalist French but this is merely a blip in the grand scheme of things.

The entire thing is not only undemocratic but its cloaked in secrecy and the only information us grubby little citizens are privy to is from either leaked documents or what our media are told to tell us. As far as Camerons concerned, its all running along splendidly and he’s leading the way.

This is a bilateral agreement between the EU and the US so if we pull out of the EU, we are no longer part of that agreement. America is well aware that the EU would likely reject Britain being part of that agreement but America needs our (or at least Cameron’s) dedicated support. America needs us in this deal and that’s the only reason Obama is willing to spend time on our shores lying to us all about why its so important we remain in the EU. He doesn’t care about us, he doesn’t care about Europe but he hugely cares about the TTIP.
