He must not move

David Cameron is coming under a lot of pressure to reverse the veto he exercised on ever-closer European union.

He must not move from his original position - the majority of the people are with him (as John Harris points out in today's Guardian, including a majority of the people in Scotland).

He need not worry about Nicolas Sarkozy as he is likely to be gone in a few months.

He need not worry about the Liberal Democrats as if they pull out of the Coalition there will have to be an election and on this issue the Conservatives will be returned with an outright majority (especially as the Liberal Democrats will collapse, and this will mostly benefit the Conservatives, not Labour).

He should take a hard line with the 26 European states and tell them to set up their own Eurozone institutions.
