Lord Heseltine has criticised the prime ministers European strategy, saying an “ill-advised” referendum would jeopardise the UK’s business prospects.
In interviews with the Financial Times and the Times, David Cameron’s adviser on growth says offering a referendum on the EU would be a “punt”.
The Tory peer also warned that the policy would “drive away inward investment”.
Mr Cameron is expected to announce that the Tories will offer a referendum after the next election, when he gives a speech on the UK’s relationship with Europe later this month.
I’m not so sure this is the best idea by all means stand up to the EU when you don’t agree with them and do all you can to repatriate as many powers as you can, but leaving all together isn’t the answer.
As much as you may loathe the EU it’s one of those things that we’re better in than out.
