Description:
In January, David Cameron pledged to offer voters an in-out referendum on the EU if he wins the next election. Some think it’s the best decision he’s ever made; others think he has lost the plot. But is leaving the EU really the right path for Britain, or has Cameron made a reckless promise in a bid to win back voters from UKIP? It’s true that Norway and Switzerland manage perfectly well on their own – but could Britain really do the same?
The nation’s top Eurocrats, politicians and media figures debated this most contentious of topics: whether Britain should stay in the EU, or go it alone.
