On the continent the general consensus of the main founders is leaning toward a hard stance. They are calling for a decision to be made soon, because they feel that the UK are playing the time and they fear that it's a way for them to ask for even more privileges and unique status than they already had. It is heavily felt that the UK are always trying not to play by the rules and basically have their cake and eat it. In clear, Italy, Germany and France are pushing for a quick decision so that all of this is not used as leverage against the EU for more privileges, while trying to get a good balance between two extrems: no agreements at all, start from scratch, and just granting the same privileges they had without all the obligations that go with staying inside.
