Nicolas Sarkozy rival calls on David Cameron to 'join France' in Europe - Telegraph
Jean-Francois Copé, a centre-Right French politician who has set his sights on succeeding President Nicolas Sarkozy, has called on David Cameron to 'join France' in Europe.

Mr Copé, who has led the French campaign for a blanket ban on the burka, said he "deeply regretted" the position of "our British conservative friends" on Europe.

His remarks came less than three months after France's Europe minister sparked a furore by branding Mr Cameron's pledge to reclaim EU powers as "pathetic" and "autistic".

somebody made a good point recently that Cameron is not a business tory who might be persuaded to accept the EU as a good market to attend, he is a "shires" tory, one step from a little englander whose idea of Conservatism is rooted in the early 19th century.

Far as he's concerned, nothing good came across the Channel unless the Royal Navy are carrying it back.

So you're saying Cameron as PM of UK would be good for Europe?
