UK risks "turning inwards" over EU referendum - US official
The Obama administration has publicly expressed concern about the impact of a UK referendum on its future relationship with the EU.
Philip Gordon, a senior official in the US State Department, said it was in America's interests to see a "strong British voice within the EU".
"Referendums have often turned countries inwards," he added.
The comments come as David Cameron prepares to make a major speech later this month on future European policy.
In response, No 10 said: "The US wants an outward-looking EU with Britain in it, and so do we."
The prime minister is facing pressure to hold a referendum on Europe at some stage during the next Parliament and has said the Conservatives will offer voters "real change" and "real choice" on the UK's position in Europe at the next election - scheduled for 2015.
The vast majority of the population of the UK want an in/out referendum on the EU..most of us detest it..including myself. We did not vote for this in its current form and powers have been virtually stripped from us bit by bit ever since we opted for the common market. Trade in fact is all we voted for, we did not vote for this attack on our sovereignty nor for the £40 Million that we are forced to give these faceless,corrupt institutions every single day..!!!
The EU is a millstone around our necks we can do without, these unelected crooks dictate everything...from our courts to farms...to fishing...robbing us daily.The continental countries hate us,we have nothing in common with them. I would prefer a treaty with all of the Commonwealth countries a total of sum 2.5 Billion souls...in fact we have a treaty its called the Commonwealth. Why dont we expand and develop that group of countries.
Lets have a Referendum and vote to leave this corrupt unrepresentative cabal, try and use the money saved to rescue the UK from one of the worst recessions ever and then try to build trading bridges with our Commonwealth partners...!!!
