In the end the specter of electoral draw in the UK has been avoided by the resounding victory of the conservatives, who are at a minimum distance from the absolute majority. For the future government will still be able to count on the renewed alliance with the Liberal Democrats, came out, however, heavily scaled from voting. The other winner is the Scottish National Party, which takes almost all the seats in Scotland, erasing the favor to the unionist parties and vowing to become a serious problem for the government activities of the winner. Heavy defeat for Labour, which analysts have attributed excessive emphasis dedicated to left-wing populism, in the election campaign and that has provoked the flight of the electorate moderate; while the Eurosceptics have not repeated the exploit of European and start to have a single seat. This last factor, limiting the ability to see the Eurosceptics in the government, easing the pressure for performing faster than a referendum to leave the European Union, but that does not mean that Cameron does not intend to pursue his plans to re-discussion of the European Treaties , which were a central point of the political program of the winner of the election. The UK will still have to fight with the reluctance very strong presence in Europe to reopen the renegotiation of the agreements, which currently builds the European Union. However the determination of Cameron on this issue seems very strong and threatens to monopolize the business of Brussels for the next period, potentially surpassing even the Greek question. The background of the relations of Cameron with Brussels are not encouraging: the UK has always wanted to maintain a certain detachment from the very idea of European Union as a political unit, because it has consistently identified the supranational entity, which adheres certainly not enthusiastic, as a continuous restriction to British sovereignty. This attitude has always been an obstacle to the path of political unification, which would enable Europe to become a major player on an international level, able to count and compete with global giants. Instead, the UK has always maintained a conduct isolated, which has caused many conflicts with Germany and France, but did not prevent him from enjoying the benefits, especially in the field of economics and finance, that Europe assured him. In essence, the United Kingdom has only taken advantage of Europe, safe in the knowledge that Brussels could not give up in London. But this acquiescence of the European Union has proved an advantage only for the British, who continued to exercise its sovereignty over its territory to a greater extent than other states in the membership. The wrong Brussels was to be too passive against London, except for some cases such as the application of the fiscal pact, without elaborating any form of penalty that stopped the British filibuster. The clear statement of Cameron, reports, however, the British prime minister to renew the request for review to promote a stronger role of national parliaments, restrict the free movement of persons, services decrease of states for immigrants and further liberalization of the single market, particularly for financial products. However the UK are other emergencies: to strengthen the economic recovery, the report of which promises to be difficult with the Scottish independence movement and relations with the United States, which appear to be loose on the previous degree of binding. In this context, if Europe is not the most pressing concern, relations with it can be, however, a factor of affirmation of the leadership of Cameron, always concerned to highlight the importance of British sovereignty towards Brussels; even if a crisis with the European Union would have a greater impact on London rather than the opposite.
