Even if we were ever to get a referendum, and the vote came out for leaving, the EU would just throw it out & demand another vote like they did with Ireland.
My thoughts are if Cameron played the referendum card, at the next EU summit, with conviction, then they might just back off, & stop interfering in Gt Britains affairs, & give us a better deal. The way things are with Greece at the moment, it might just make them stop & think.
