Your suggestion that Britain is focused purely on financial matters is way off target. For many British people the issue with the EU is not economic but loss of sovereignty which has everything to do with 'Der Frau', sorry, 'Mutti'.
So for me the most important of Cameron's four shopping list items is the request, "to end Britain's obligation to work towards an 'ever-closer union'... to make clear that this commitment will no longer apply to the United Kingdom." Everything else I could reluctantly live with, even if it means our country and our services are swamped by EU citizens attracted to the higher-performing British economy.
