Mats Persson: Labour could unintentionally push
the UK out of the EU.On the Guardian Comment is Free, Open Europe’s Mats Persson looks at Labour’s position in Europe, arguing that ahead of the 2015 elections Labour has two options in how to respond to a possible Tory pledge to renegotiate EU membership terms and a referendum: either gambling on the EU not being an electoral issue or promising an In/Out referendum. He argues that Labour could unintentionally be the party that pulls the UK out of Europe, if it banks “on the status quo or Tory splits” rather than developing a coherent vision of its own.
