  • David Cameron's Speech Was About As Pro-European As Can Be Expected of a British Conservative Prime Minister in the Current Co
    blo gs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/archives/30204 David Cameron’s speech was about as pro-European as can be expected of a British Conservative Prime Minister in the current context On Wednesday, David Cameron delivered his long awaited speech on the UK’s relationship with Europe, guaranteeing a referendum on the country’s EU membership should his party win the next election. Simon Hix gives a critical reading of the speech, noting that the content was far more pro-European than might have been expected. He argues that there are strong reasons to support a renegotiation of the UK’s position inside the EU and that a referendum on this new agreement could re-engage British citizens with the European project. This article was first published on LSE’s EUROPP blog I read the complete text of David Cameron’s speech bef ore reading any of the commentary in newspapers, on the various blogs or f rom the usual twitterati. And I’m so glad I did. I came away f rom an unadulterated reading of the speech pleasantly surprised. This surprise in part ref lects my prior f ears that Cameron would deliver the most anti-European speech of any British Prime Minister. Instead, the speech is remarkably pro-European given current domestic circumstances – especially the shrillness of the anti-European tabloids, the Europhobia of some Tory backbenchers, and the rising UKIP tide. The Prime Minister made the case f or Europe, f or the EU single market, f or Britain as a European power, and even f or deeper integration in the Eurozone.

  • Going, Going, Gone: How Safe Is David Cameron?
    Going, Going, Gone: How Safe is David Cameron? democraticaudit.com /2016/06/03/going-going-gone-how-safe-is-david-cameron/ By Democratic Audit UK 2016-6-3 Last weekend, rumors were once again abound of plots to remove David Cameron as leader. Ben Worthy assesses the Prime Minister’s position in light of the latest threat, and writes that although it appears probable he will survive attempts to topple him in the short-term, the plots, rumours and rebellion will continue. David Cameron at first Cabinet meeting in 2010. Credit: Crown Copyright The UK’s EU referendum has turned into a series of threats against Cameron himself. The weekend was dominated by swirling rumours about Conservative MPs plotting to remove their leader with talk of plots of 50 MPs, (metaphorical) ‘stabbing in the front’ and letters to the 1922 committee. This isn’t the first time Cameron has faced challenges to his position. So how safe is he now? The rules for triggering an election for a Conservative party leader are clear. To ‘secure a confidence vote, 15% of Conservative Members of Parliament (“in receipt of the Conservative Whip”) must submit a request for such a vote, in writing, to the Chairman of the 1922 Committee’. This means 50 MPs need to sign a letter. There are 330 Conservative whipped MPs in the House of Commons. It is estimated that around 110 are definitely Brexit versus 128 MPs for Remain with the rest unknown. There are likely enough unhappy MPs to get 50 signatures on a letter. How these numbers may translate into a leadership election is less clear.
