What future is there for the United Kingdom in the European Union?

Since its refusal to sign the budgetary stability pact on which the 27 EU Member States came to agreement in December 2011, the British government has placed itself in a position of voluntary isolation in Europe. David Cameron is subject to continuous pressure on the part of the radical eurosceptics, about a third of whom in the parliamentary group would like the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union. As part of the negotiations on economic union that are now about to start, which may lead to a new treaty, the Prime Minister has promised to bring back a certain number of community policies within the national fold, which would then be followed by a referendum. This is an extremely dangerous strategy for his government and for the Union as a whole.
