UK liberals, Tories find common ground in EU membership clash

Leaders of the British liberals and conservatives in the European Parliament, meeting head-to-head at a Brussels debate, found common ground amid a philosophical clash over the UK's membership of the EU.

The Liberal Democrat Graham Watson and Conservative Martin Callanan debated on the 11 April 2013 whether UK’s EU membership should be renegotiated, just as Prime Minister David Cameron was due to fly to Berlin to press German Chancellor Angela Merkel for EU reform.
