How to get Britain to part of the 'Inner Six'?

Hey Guys,

IOTL the 'Inner Six' were the original 6 founding members of the EEC (what is now the EU.) Of these six they didn't include Britain, one reason for Britain not getting in on the act was because it tried to cling onto the remnants of her Empire. Britain then joined in 1973, 15 years after the creation of the EEC.

But how could you get Britain to be one of the original members and thus have the 'Inner Seven'? What different politics would you need to happen between 1945 to 1958 so as to have Britain join?

How would this affect Britain, her view on Europe and other nations views on the EEC? What would be both the short and long term affects of this earlier integration on the EEC and Europe in general?

1) Have De Gaulle not veto early British participation (maybe remove him, maybe change his mind)
2) have a much early EEC variant, with both Britain and France bringing their colonies in. Of course, when Algeria goes independent, is it a member no?
