Cabinet ministers lead new push for an early EU exit
by Irn Bru Wed Dec 31, 2014 8:06 am
Up to nine Cabinet ministers are said to be threatening to split the party unless allowed to campaign for Britain to leave.
Even more Tory MPs are urging the Prime Minister to bring forward an in-or-out referendum to 2016 – a year earlier than he plans.
They say voters deserve the chance to decide on the issue as soon as possible after the general election in May.
Mr Cameron has vowed to hold a vote in 2017 after a renegotiation of the terms of the UK’s membership.
But senior ministers fear that it would mean that if Mr Cameron wins the next election the Tories would have to spend two years focusing on the EU instead of on important domestic issues.
A promise to hold a referendum in 2016 could also win back eurosceptic voters who may be considering backing Ukip next year.

I wish they would just get on with this to put an end to all the discussion once and for all. I doubt we will be leaving the EU anytime soon - even Cameron knows that.
