    I think that’s optimistic to be honest.

    2025-2030 it’ll be Labour maybe improving the relationship a bit but showing that the other major party can’t really make a go of it.

    2030-2035 probably still labour. At this point things will be more settled and other issues will be at the fore. Hopefully electoral reform.

    2035-2040 either growing feeling that we’d be better off in the EU than out of it, or if we’re really lucky the first PR elected government and it can be talked about.

    2040-2045 if PR then pro EU coalition probably looks to get maybe get us into the EEC. If no PR then main parties start to openly admit that public mood has changed and saying we’d be better in is no longer political suicide.

    2045-2050 If PR we start to put feelers out to the EU and bring ourselves in line with them. If no PR the calls for a referendum start.
