David Cameron told Al Jazeera that "it would not be in Britain’s interests to leave the EU" and that's why he will not hold a referendum. Because he thinks he knows best. And yet he caves in to Clegg to give a referendum on AV voting. So, there we have it. A referndum which no one wants (on AV), but no referendum on something many want (on the EU).
He has the audacity to say that he wants to cut down on bureaucracy, yet doesn't spot the elephant in the room - the EU. It will not even let us reduce duty on fuel unless it agrees!
The EU shamelessly provides accounts which cannot be audited as they are so dodgy. It causes tonnes of fish to discarded into the seas each year because of its daft quota systems. Yetr, it has just approved a £51million project to create a museum in Brussels to celebrate itself! Meanwhile, MEPs have voted themselves an extra EUR 3000 in secretarial expenses per month to bring their allowance to an eye-watering EUR21,200 per month (£18k). 
The fat cats in the EU are milking us dry, yet Cameron thinks we should be denied a vote on whether we like it or not.
Ignoring the EU and putting Huhne in charge of energy leaves me with nothing but contempt for Cameron. I reckon, by the time he's finished, he'll go down as a worse PM than Major. 
I do not need to hear what some foreign journalist states is fact about Cameron, Britain and Europe!
This is where I get my information on Conservative Policy from:
http://www.conservatives.com/Policy/Where_we_stand/Europe.aspx...........and specifically on Europe the policy is:
[size=24]"[/size]Europe
The Government believes that Britain should play a leading role in an enlarged European Union, but that
no further powers should be transferred to Brussels without a referendum. This approach strikes the right balance between constructive engagement with the EU to deal with the issues that affect us all, and protecting our national sovereignty.
* We will ensure that the British Government is a positive participant in the European Union, playing a strong and positive role with our partners, with the goal of ensuring that all the nations of Europe are equipped to face the challenges of the 21st century: global competitiveness, global warming and global poverty.
* We will ensure that there is
no further transfer of sovereignty or powers over the course of the next Parliament. *
We will amend the 1972 European Communities Act so that any proposed future treaty that transferred areas of power, or competences, would be subject to a referendum on that treaty - a 'referendum lock'. * We will examine the case for a United Kingdom Sovereignty Bill to
make it clear that ultimate authority remains with Parliament. * We will ensure that Britain does
not join or prepare to join the Euro in this Parliament.
* We will
strongly defend the UK's national interests in the forthcoming EU budget negotiations and agree that the EU budget should only focus on those areas where the EU can add value.
* We will press for the European Parliament to have only one seat, in Brussels.
* We support the further enlargement of the EU.
