I’d say that the Tories are more divided than ever on the issue of Europe, to the extent that it now seems plausible that the party might split. How far Cameron will go to appease the extremists is the question – and given the impossible position he’s been put in over the EU budget, it’s hard to see how he could stop short of a referendum if he wants to survive as leader of the party in more or less its current form.
Since many people’s views on the EU seem to be irrational and delusional, I have little confidence that a referendum would have a positive result.
