If Cameron returns as prime minister after the general election in 2015, he will face an uphill battle in renegotiating the terms of British EU membership, owing to resistance not only from his European partners, but also from his own Conservative Party, which is close to advocating British withdrawal. Indeed, it is difficult to see how a re-elected Cameron could maintain the Conservative Party’s unity without endorsing a “no” vote in the referendum on the outcome of his own renegotiation.
如果卡梅伦在2015年选举中以首相身份归来，他将面临关于英国欧盟成员地位条件重新谈判的艰苦战斗，因为不但他的欧洲伙伴会抵制他，其本人所在的、接近于支持英国退出的保守党也会抵制他。事实上，很难想象连任的卡梅伦如何维持保守党的团结，同时又不支持对关于其自己的重新谈判结果的公投投出“否决”票。
