If the UK gov'ts would embrace Europe as being an older brother then I could see that happening, but as things stands the UK can pretend to be free and on its own, because older brother USA is so far away.
The USA also needs the UK as a foot hold into Europe. I have said this before, but I believe that the USAs biggest fear is a toitally united Europe. The UK is their pawn in the game of power in Europe and they will not allow the UK to break free and join Europe whole heartedly. And there ain't a thing that the UK can do about it.
