Cameron’s supporters cite the precedent set by Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who in 1975 renegotiated the terms of Britain’s &#160;membership in the European Economic Community – terms that his conservative predecessor, Edward Heath, had accepted a few years earlier – and then held a referendum on continued EEC membership. This tactic worked once, they argue, and it will work again.
卡梅伦的支持者援引工党首相威尔逊的先例——他在1975年重谈了其前任希斯几年前接受的英国欧洲经济共同体成员资格条件，随后举行了关于是否保留欧洲经济共同体成员资格的公投。他们认为，这一策略曾经奏效并将再次奏效。
