I agree, but I also don't feel that anyone else would have got a better deal.
It is in the interests of many EU nations for the status quo to remain as is so why give away the concessions that they benefit most strongly from.
I think the EU has gotten too big, there are too many countries voices now , it'll end up like Eurovision with blocs of countries all voting the same way to ensure that they & their cohorts benefit at the expense of others.
Just as they did while Cameron was trying to get his deal, the Poles & Czechs were the main objectors to giving changes.
Thatcher did a good job negotiating with the EU, she got the rebate and would have never signed any of the recent treaties. Then again, there were significantly fewer member states in those days and as you say, it's nigh on impossible to reach agreement with so many diverse views.

I see Johnson is claiming that those who wish to remain are comparable to Hitler, as they support a European 'superstate' much the same as he did. Too busy laughing to comment further.

After Livingstone's Hitler reference caused such an outcry, I'd have expected everyone to avoid using that name for a while...

WTAF was Johnson thinking or expecting?
Attention. And he certainly got it.
