The net result is that it seems highly probable that any attempted achievement of a “new settlement,” including repatriation of competences, will make it much more difficult for Britain to remain in the EU than would be the case if a straightforward “in/out” referendum were held now.
结果很可能是任何试图达成“新方案”，包括还权协议的努力会比让英国现在直接举行是否退出欧盟的公投退出的可能性更大。因此，卡梅伦的立场不仅不能让任何一方（包括对欧元持怀疑态度的保守党人）放心，反而预示着英国及其欧洲盟国有可能进入充满动荡的新时代。
