Will David Cameron win the battle over Europe?
As the European Union comes under more and more pressure, David Cameron is this evening under pressure himself with many right wing Conservative MPs concerned about the potential cost of helping to bailout Europe. Problems within the Euro zone are likely to bring back a number of splits within the Conservative party regarding Europe, finances and the European Union as a whole. But will David Cameron be able to win the battle over Europe?
David Cameron is at this point in time being pulled in different directions with the Liberal Democrats, possible coalition members, pro-Europe and many Conservative MPs anti-Europe. So does David Cameron give way to the Liberal Democrats and give himself a chance of governing the UK in the short-term or does he take a minority government to the Queen and take his chances?
In all honesty David Cameron has no chance of keeping all parties happy and he will have to upset some people in the political scene to put together a potentially stable government. It is likely this government will be disbanded in less than 12 months and a new election called once the groundwork has been done and he is able to show his skills to the UK electorate.
