No 'responsible' leader could ever leave EU, says Danny Alexander - Telegraph: Mr Alexander said Britain's national interest had to trump party political difficulties.
"I just think that any responsible British politician should not be contemplating British exit from the EU given how serious the consequences should be," he said.
"Of course there are difficulties on Europe in different political parties," he told Sky News' Murnaghan programme. "But in the end it is our national interest, our national interest in terms of our economy and jobs and society that has to come first in any approach."

“I very much hope that Britain remains a member of the EU,” the Chancellor told Germany's Die Welt . “But in order that we can remain in the European Union, the EU must change.
