The Times is definitely considered eurosceptic, the problem is although some press may not fully support withdrawal from the EU,most are in the main eurosceptic.
As a starting point that would not, in my opinion,indicate a balanced and fair debate being reported.
I agree with MTVN that all 3 party leaders would be in favour of staying in but what if David Cameron only got token gestures of change rather than anything substantial.
Then that would be the main headlines, 'PM wins nothing really from the EU'.
So having tied the negotiations to holding a referendum after that he has tied many hands really.
With headlines like that it could well be that more would still prefer to stay in but far fewer of them would make the effort to go and vote in a referendum, whereas those really set against the EU would cross mountains likely to make sure they got out and voted to come out.
There is just too much uncertainty to the whole process and I really cannot see the EU giving much at all to negotiations with David Cameron, the EU is much larger now, give concessions to one nation then likely many others will demand the same.
I cannot see him getting anything of much merit.
The EU would go on without the UK but our life could be made much more difficult outside the EU in my view.
