Labour \\\'won\\\'t guarantee EU poll\\\'
Wednesday, 12 March 2014
A future Labour government would not call an in/out referendum on the UK's membership of the EU unless it was being asked to transfer more powers to Brussels, Ed Miliband has said. In an article for the Financial Times, the Labour leader said his party "strongly believes Britain's future is in the EU". He also criticised the Conservatives' "damaging obsession" with EU policy. But Prime Minister David Cameron said only his party will "guarantee" a vote. "By his own admission, Ed Miliband says it's unlikely there'll be an referendum on Europe under Labour," the prime minister posted on Twitter, according to BBC.
