Fun Online Polls: EU Budget and Angela Merkel Throws Down the Gauntlet

Posted on the 03 November 2014 by Markwadsworth @Mark_Wadsworth

The results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:
How should the UK respond to the EU's demand for another GBP 1.7 billion?

Assume it was a clerical error and ignore it - 19%
Assume it was a practical joke and ignore it - 61%
Other, please specify - 20%

My thoughts exactly. A good turnout with 114 voters, thanks to everybody who took part.
------------------------------
The EU fun never stops!
I've no idea what goes through Cameron's tiny mind, but Angela Merkel has firmly slapped him down. Assuming that she can dictate EU policy and/or that other EU leaders think the same, this has wrong footed Cameron completely.
He now has now run out of excuses for waffling on about doing a bit of renegotiating and then holding a referenudm comfortably far into the future, Merkel has deftly painted him into a corner and he has no choice, morally, but to hold a referendum ASAP.
So that's this week's Fun Onlline Poll, how do you think he will respond (all a bit open ended, really)?
