Wall Street Journal (January 28)
British Prime Minister David Cameron discussed the future of the EU, raising important points on Europe’s waning competitiveness, excessive regulation, free trade agreements and the primacy of the single market. European leaders largely were not listening. “Yet the picture of Europe that Mr. Cameron sketched on Wednesday is an EU worth belonging to, not just for Britain but for every other European state that does not want to sacrifice prosperity and democratic representation on the altar of centralization. Mr. Cameron’s critics should read his speech twice.”

The Times (May 10)
Borrowing Nike’s slogan, The Times urges David Cameron and Nick Clegg to “just do it.” Creating a coalition government will bring risks, but these are far outweighed by the benefits. The two leaders “have a rare opportunity to reinvigorate their parties, to reset the terms of trade in British politics and to bring reformist zeal to the government of this country.”
