No they don’t. If they did, then the EU would be more Britain-like. There is only one country that controls the EU.

more "Britain-like" -- you mean the country with such a large percentage of its workforce in the public sector? And one with a National Health Care that is both public and doesn't work?

Nah...the Brits are able to prevent the EU from getting too integrated and to enable them to keep their free internal market with the EU

Britains position right now is fine -- not too close, not too far. it shouldn't muck in with France and Germany, but it shouldn't cut itself out either.
