Cameron has today said; "I don't think it is in Britain's interests to leave the EU but I do think what it is increasingly becoming the time for is a new settlement between Britain and Europe, and I think that new settlement will require fresh consent. In the next parliament, I think there will be opportunities for a fresh settlement and for new consent to that settlement. There is a reason why. The euro is a currency with 17 different countries. I think, increasingly, one currency will mean one economic policy. They are going to change and that will give us opportunities for changing our relationship with Europe. I argue for Britain's membership because I think it is in our interests. If I didn't think it was in our interests, I wouldn't argue for British membership."
You don't have to be a genius to see the manoevring going on here. He has read the report of the self appointed 'Future of Europe Group' and seen the 'Banking Union' details (which in theory would itself legaly trigger a referendum in Britain) and everyone now realises that you can't have a financial union without also having a political union... So the continent is heading for a new Treaty which will create the utopian single state. Britain will get a referendum on this new treaty; "join the European State or remain as we are?" We will not get an in/out vote.
Hopefuly then some Tory MPs will join UKIP.
