Letter to the editor: I beg to disagree with Bob Neill (MP: Former Tory’s UKIP move “misguided”, September 3).
Douglas Carswell has only stated what thousands of former Conservative voters already know – Cameron will never “negotiate” any meaningful concessions from the EU.
Numerous EU dignitaries have clearly stated there will be no special terms for Britain and Cameron is only deluding himself if he thinks otherwise.
He also knows that he does not have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the next general election outright – he could not even win the last one, against the most despised government in decades – so his promises are totally worthless anyway.
Ask yourself, Bob, why has Cameron not already made his demands for the return of British sovereignty known to the electorate?
Because he knows anything meaningful will be rejected and he, like Miliband and Clegg are hell bent on keeping Britain in the dictatorial EU at all costs regardless of what the electorate wants. He has already said so.
Cameron is always banging on about democracy, so why does he not let the British electorate have an in/out EU referendum now?
Democracy is dead in Britain thanks to the Liberal Democrats/ Labour/Conservatives – that must change.
