100 Tory MPs have signed a letter asking Cameron to offer us a referendum on the EU in their manifesto for the next election. No, don't worry, you've not been in a coma and just woken up back in 2009 somehow, oh no, they're still at it. Whenever the Tories want to garner a bit of support they put on their Eurosceptic masks. But then, when in power, do more to sell our country down the Brussels plughole than any other party ever has.
As Cameron lied about a referendum in the last election, and the debate about a referendum in the House of Commons was lost, what is the point of MPs writing him a nice letter asking him to offer what he has promised in the past, and then reneged on? It's more Tory bullshit, don't fall for it.
If those 100 Tory MPs threatened to resign their seats immediately, precipitating 100 by-elections unless he called a referendum now, then I might have some respect for them. But please stop treating us like the idiots that you are, because we're not.

Very unlikely to happen. I would settle for some old fashioned back stabbing a la Thatcher, Major etc.
Oh yes Sean, that would involve putting principle before livelihood, and I have yet to meet an elected politician from any party that was prepared to do that.
Let's be honest we'd have massive respect for a bunch of MPs who did this at the same time.
On Europe, their rhetoric has always been the opposite of that pushed by the other mainstream parties.
The key point that you allude to is:- Single European Act, Maastrict, Lisbon Treaty are an unwelcome hat-trick and the useless Tories nodded them all through.
