At some point in the future though, the UK has to have its voice heard again on the European issue, it has to be debated with the UK citizens not just telling them what is going to be.

One of the problems is that Govts believe,only from polling,that the British people are against being in Europe or at least most things EU, no party wants to be the one that really badly collides with the EU and on its own causes full dysfunction with the EU, so it has to come one day that the British people are consulted on the European issue,only then after a long and well informed debate 'with' the people can future Govts then truly act in accordance with the UKs voters wishes as to all things EU.

This PM is hampered badly as to the EU by the Lib Dems, this is not strong Govt at all, yes they have the numbers when they agree on what will be voted for in the commons but a main part of the Govt and the PM having to constantly consult and look over their shoulders at the smaller part of the coalition doe not make strong Govt, in fact it makes for weaker Govt.

The EU problem is not going to go away, it will re-surface year on year, sadly this Govt. cannot effectively act as to the EU crisis and future problems because there is so much internal division in the coalition Govt. as to all things EU connected.

Most of the Conservative party have the right idea as to Europe and our relations with same, Labour is all over the place still on it and the Lib Dems will do anything to pacify Europe.
Fight an election now on the issue with promised referendum on the matter and Cameron could get a surprise win I think, however he has sold away, for the support of the Lib Dems,his right to call an election now before May 2015, the problem is not just with the EU as to losing rights and true democracy, that problem is more at home in the current Lib Dem party who have one aim only, to be in Govt in some way for the maximum time they can this Parliament.
