United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron promised to give voters in May 2013 'a proper choice' between staying in a reformed EU and leaving, in a referendum to be held if the Conservatives win the next election. The comments come after former Tory Chancellor Lord Lawson warned on the 7 May 2013 that any renegotiation with the EU ahead of a vote would be 'inconsequential'. He said the UK should quit the EU, with the referendum being moved forward. Mr Cameron was facing increased calls to bring forward a promised referendum on EU membership, following the success of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) in local elections in England in May 2013. |
