Cameron no doubt wished to reassure those in his Conservative Party who doubt his euroskeptic zeal. Even so, Cameron’s supposed remark that the UK was more likely to leave the EU if Juncker’s candidacy succeeded was strange and disquieting, not least because any renegotiation of the terms of British membership will be carried out primarily with other member states, not with the Commission.
毫无疑问，卡梅伦希望让保守党内部怀疑起反欧洲立场的成员放心。即便如此，卡梅伦的假定结论&mdash;&mdash;如若容克成功当选，英国更有可能离开欧盟&mdash;&mdash;既奇怪又令人不安，因为任何关于英国成员地位条件的重新谈判主要是与其他成员国而不是欧盟委员会谈。
