But it would be a period of turmoil & quite frankly I don't think Cameron has the guts for it.

The 2017 referendum vote will be tabled by a Tory backbencher as the motion put forward by the Tories wouldn't see light of day due to the Lib/Dems, but it will be aired in a Private Members Bill. But you can rest assured that there will be no vote prior to the 2015 election, because Cameron genuinely thinks most people in GB want to stay in Europe, sadly he's very much mistaken, we are totally fed up by unelected bureaucrats make our lives a misery by coming up with stupid unnecessary rules and regs. Cameron ignores the British people at his peril
