Cameron has said on several occasions that he wishes to avoid a referendum revolving around the simple choice of continued EU membership on the basis of the current terms of membership. Already some are claiming to discern in his European policy the makings of an heir to Harold Wilson, another famous “renegotiator” of Britain’s terms of membership in the then-European Community who went on to win a referendum on Europe.
卡梅伦曾多次表示，他希望避免在现有成员条款基础上就是否延续欧盟成员资格进行单一选择的公投。已经有人称在他的欧洲政策中找到了哈罗德·威尔逊的影子，威尔逊曾就英国欧共体资格条款进行了著名的重新“谈判”，并在其后赢得了欧洲问题的全民公投。
