There was a fear that UK Conservative leader David Cameron would continue to persist on holding a referendum if his party wins the next UK general election as expected
However, the latest news is that after the Czech ratification, Cameron is to backtrack on his plans to hold a referendum. Good news for the already delayed treaty. Bad news for all the euroskeptics out there. Cameron is facing a storm of criticism from Tory backbenchers and anti EU parties like UKIP and the BNP.
To counteract this, Cameron came out yesterday November 4th with a strong speech outlining his plans to get tough with the EU and take back some powers if he gets elected next year. He also annoucned changes to plans to ensure that every future EU treat requires a referendum, and that the UK gets a complete opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights. His agenda is likely to be extremely unwelcome in Europe. The French Europe Minister has already started the criticism by branding Cameron's plans as "autistic"
Read the full text of Cameron's speech.

| Meh - he's just trying to get the Eurosceptic vote. I see that he's now saying that all future changes will be put to the people. Maybe the UK needs a consitution!?
