David Cameron to pledge 'in/out' EU referendum within days
David Cameron will make a firm commitment this week to hold a referendum on Britain's future relationship with the European Union - including the option of leaving it.
I'll believe it when it happens AND the votes are counted - and count.
The Prime Minister will within days make the historic pledge of a national vote after the next general election in his postponed speech, which senior sources said last night they believe will satisfy most Eurosceptic Conservatives.

However, he will not promise to pave the way for the referendum by introducing legislation in the current Parliament - something which will disappoint harder-line Eurosceptics.
There it is - there's the window he/they'll climb out of.
Is he thus threatening to dissolve Parliament and call for new elections? The Tories aren't that strong...
Senior Government figures are understood to see such a move as a potential coalition-breaker - with the Liberal Democrats likely to vote with Labour in the Commons to block it.

Mr Cameron is now expected to make the long-anticipated speech in Britain. He was due to deliver it last Friday in Amsterdam but was forced to postpone it because of the hostage crisis in Algeria.

In extracts of the address already released in advance, the Prime Minister warns of the a growing "gap between" The EU's institutions and its citizens. He says there is: "a lack of democratic accountability and consent that is -- yes -- felt particularly acutely in Britain."
