Cameron's referendum hint
David Cameron has given his strongest hint yet that he will offer the British public a referendum on the UK’s relationship with the European Union after the next election.
Mr Cameron reiterated his previous comments that he would seek “fresh consent” once the UK’s relationship had crystallised, and today said a referendum would but the “most sensible way” of getting that.
He told the Today programme: “I’ve always said that when we achieve that fresh settlement, it needs consent either at a referendum or a general election. But the referendum is obviously the cleanest, neatest, simplest and most sensible way of doing that.”
