Duly noted.

But do you think the London financial center would be better off with only an informal relationship to the EU, perhaps staying in the EFTA, but not being directly subjected to directives from the EU?

They already have their own currency, so why not be more independent like Norway or Switzerland? They seem to do pretty well.

It would be interesting to see what the Scottish nationalists will think about all this.

Isn't he talking about a referendum in 5 years or something pretty far off?

Truth be told, I don't think the speech will move EU policy towards the way Cameron wants it and I can see the UK going its on way eventually.

Nor and Swiss have trump cards...terrorist and drug money for the Swiss and a boat load of oil for Norway. I think that is why they are doing well. It's hard to screw up a country when you have those kind of revenues coming in.
