No. Cameron has said he will negotiate the best deal he can get then put
the results to the country in a referendum.

The two are not incompatible.

Cameron DOES want to stay in the EU - where else will he go when he gets
junked as PM?

Likewise political expediency will force him to have *some* sort of
referendum, along the lines of 'do you want to stay in the EU or live in
abject poverty and have no NHS when voting UKIP makes your babies all
have two heads'

He who sets the agenda fixes the result.

Of course once he doesn't win the election outright, whoever he teams up
with can be used as a handy excuse why there cant actually BE a
referendum, and why of course national government doesn't matter because
the EU runs stuff anyway.

Surely no one actually believes that the referendum promise is anything
nore than a sucker ploy to get UKIP voters back?
