Article by John Stephenson on the Left Foot Forward website

Misinformed article by John Stephenson on the Left Foot Forward website about the Conservative party and "Europe" (by which he means the EU):  http://www.leftfootforward.org/2013/09/opinion-the-conservatives-will-live-to-regret-the-eu-referendum/

The Conservative party will not tear itself apart over "Europe" because there is no significant pro-EU faction left in the Conservative party - they have all died, retired or defected to the Lib Dems.

As for David Cameron, he is a self-avowed Euro-sceptic, the only Prime Minister ever to have used the national veto at an EU summit, and has promised a referendum on whether the people wish the United Kingdom to remain part of this out-moded sclerotic elitist geopolitical bloc.

Does that sound like a pro-European to you?

I am confident that when the time comes David Cameron will claim his place in history by extricating the United Kingdom from the EEC-EC-EU gintrap.

Out and into the world.
