So, looks like this is all Cameron managed to get

I've always leaned towards staying in, but I can't see any way Cameron can spin this as anything other than a "get stuffed" from the EU.

Anyone think he's actually achieved anything here?

Its a nothing achievement in my book.

A 'meh' moment.

When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep.
Not screaming and terrified.
Like his passengers.

He's backed himself into a corner with this one - "vote to come out if I don't get a good deal", now he's got to try to convince everyone that what he is coming back with (nothing) is a really good deal!

I would vote to stay in the EU if, after we have done the sensible & right thing and renewed Trident, Brussels turned a blind eye to us disposing of our old Trident's by launching them at Rotterdam. And if we have one left over, lobbing that at Barcelona.

I have a personal, hatred towards to the people of Rotterdam & Barcelona and vapourising them is, in my opinion, the only sensible course of action.

I don't thinks how negotiation works. Some of the proposals are quite good, but the issue of EU migration isn't with benefits, but the manner in which it undermines the working classes of the UK by creating a surplus of cheap labour which only benefits corporate interests.

Some of the issues are straw arguments, like Sovereignty, as the ECHR doesn't have dominion over UK sovereignty except when there is a conflict within UK laws, that cannot be resolved by our own judiciary.

This isn't a new thing, the European Court has filled this role for about fifty or sixty years.

The problem that Cameron has is that the interests of many 'euro issue' political groups and people, are ideological, they want out of the EU irrespective of any concessions (or they want the EU to serve the interests of the UK first and foremost).

Personally my only issue with the EU really is the 'right to free movement' allowing people to work anywhere, which I believe is to the detriment of both nations involved.

No. That's exactly how negotiation works. You negotiate from a position of strength, making it clear what the consequences of non-agreement are.

Not only did Cameron have absolutely no intention of pushing a "leave" agenda (as he is fully signed up to the EU), but the whole thing is a complete sham - engineered, including the little tiffs and handbags. We'll likely get some form of what Dave is asking for - this is just the theater.

However, much as with Fraizer Campbell, the end product is junk. No substance, no "reform" and nothing that will serve to placate those who rightly believe that these "straw arguments" of yours are tangible and a threat to our democracy and autonomy.

The only issue is how high the cut-off in IQ is for those taken in by Dave's theatrics, and thus duped into thinking he's acting in good faith and in the UK's best interests with these sad fudges.
