Funny. And nicely edited but the referendum that was being promised was specifically for the Lisbon treaty not on EU membership.

By the time Cameron was in office the treaty had already been ratified.

@basch2020 . Yes it was, but the massive hypocrisy is evident in in the sentiment. Cameron pretends to be Euro sceptic & democratic. The reality is keeping his party together & jobs for colleagues in Brussels comes before what is best for the British people. His pre election promise on the EU referendum on the Lisbon treaty was a massive deceit. It was a promise he knew he would never have to honour. It was simply made in an attempt to capture eurosceptic votes before the Election.

@ukipmedia I'm afraid I have to disagree. Cameron wants to remain in the EU but to reform it back to it's original purpose - a trade bloc. I can't see why everyone is lambasting the Conservatives over the Lisbon treaty considering that had no power when it was ratified so no referendum could be held.

[ukipmedia]

@charlesfisher757 The EU is unreformable and its original purpose was never a trade bock, the project has always been about ever closer union and the slow drive towards a European superstate. Cameron is knowingly deceiving the British people to think otherwise. Cameron saying he wants to reform the EU is frankly a deceitful message which main purpose is to apease the eurosceptic backbenchers and the aim to capture Eurosceptic voters to vote Conservative. Jobs for the boys first, then Country

@ukipmedia The European Economic Community (EEC) was set up in 1958 initially incorporating 6 countries as a way of promoting trade within its member states. I agree that nowadays, and particularly after the Maastricht and Lisbon treaties, the modern EU does seem like a superstate but one cannot deny its origin. I am baffled as to why Britain doesn't join EFTA instead, which, as I gather, has all the trade benefits of the EU minus the mountains of bureaucracy, which accompanies it.

[ukipmedia]

@charlesfisher757 Why are you baffled ? The reason is because the EU is a great souce for British career politicians to get jobs, benefits and make lots of money. Admitedly Cameron would be very unpopular with his own colleagues working in Brussels telling them sorry you don't have a job anymore, Britain is leaving the EU. It would require a leader with spine and conviction to put Country before Self and colleagues like that.. Being popular is too important to 'Call me Dave', he won't do it.

These kleptocratic potentates, especially their swine herd leader, make me ill. Shame on the duplicitous fools who complacently support this anti-British cabal of frauds and common, lecherous criminals. The so called Conservative motley are the enemies of Britain, their alleged opposition a colony of rats. I implore you, my good men; see the video on my channel for a lesson in genuine patriotic sentiment. You will not find the parlance of the mad house spoken there.

Mr Cameron, nobody cares what you want. You represent the people. the people don't bow to you.
