David Cameron's EU Referendum Bill collapses - UKIP

David Cameron's European Referendum Bill has failed
following the lack of support from the Conservative Party's coalition partners
the Liberal Democrats. Even if the Bill had somehow managed to make it past a
second reading, it was likely to fail in the House of Lords due to the Labour
Party's refusal to support an EU referendum, and even then, it is well
recognised that a parliament cannot bind its successor and therefore the entire
move was fatuous.
Having made this point for months if not years, UKIP now points to the
string of broken promises by the Conservative Party, and the abject failure of
the Liberal Democrats and the Labour Party to reflect the will of the British
people.
It has of course not been a great few weeks for David Cameron:
1. Britain still owes the EU a whopping £1.7bn, and Mr Cameron's support in
Europe over the matter is faltering, with Danish PM Helle Thorning-Schmidt now
refusing to back him;
2. The Tory Party is still at disarray internally over the European Arrest Warrant;
3. The Tory Minister Nick Boles has admitted that nothing at all can be done about mass migration from the EU as long as we are part of the political union;
4. The Liberal Democrats have put the boot into their coalition partners and killed the EU Referendum Bill.
