The post you are reporting:
Barry, it doesn't make sense: you say there should be a renegotiation of EU membership.
The referendum that is being proposed in the Commons would have three questions put over to the electorate:
1 To remain in the EU
2 renegotiation of membership
3 To leave the EU
The PM Camers has said that there must be no referendum at all, and that the UK must remain committed to the EU.
This means that Camers will not renegotiate EU membership in any way whatsoever, and has no intention of doing so in the future.
His only declared commitment is that, if the EU seeks further "significant" absorption of British powers into the EU, then there would be a referendum on that particualr question, but not a renegotiation, let alone a referendum, of existing membership status.
D. Camers is totally committed to the EU as it is now. This is the crude reality.
As I've stated recently, I believe there will be a split in the Tory Party, as Camers is an outright leftwinger with Labour policies. Monday will see whether the Tory MPs who are in favour of either leaving the EU OR renegotiating present membership will have the courage to stand up and defy the PM.
If they do, many Tory supporters will follow them, if they don't, there will be a grass-roots defection from the Conservative Party.
From UKIP there is no wishy washy approach. It's in or out.
Barry, I have understood fully what you are saying, but you should read carefully what the PM is saying, as you do not seem to realise that you are kidding yourself if you think he will ever change the present EU membership status even by a iota.
