Cameron promised that if he wins the general election scheduled for 20 15, he will approve the necessary laws and formulate new principles of relations with the EU within one year, and then hold a referendum on Britain's withdrawal from the EU, so that people can choose to stay in or leave the EU. Cameron said that if the EU does not take measures to solve the core problems, Britain will probably withdraw from the organization. The referendum is expected to be held between 20 17 and 20 18.

The media think that the referendum is a poll.

Less than half of the respondents (45%) believe that EU membership is beneficial to Britain, while 34% of Britons hold the opposite view. Of the more than 2,000 respondents, half said they would vote for Britain to leave the EU, while 33% said they would vote for Britain to stay in the EU. 47% of the supporters of Britain's exit from the EU said that if Britain can defend its rights and interests in the negotiations with its EU partners, it "may" change its mind. The vast majority of respondents hope that the EU will change its policies in the fields of immigration and justice. Polls show that the British people's support for leaving the EU is spreading.
