Cameron’s Negotiations : Lines in the sand and smokescreens
David Cameron ever since his election victory back in May has been touring around European leaders trying to influence them to help in a potential British negotiation with Europe. This is more a PR stunt than hard crafting diplomacy. Stories that have appeared in the British press about his tour have focused on Cameron himself and the photo-shoots rather than any concrete deals or potential changes. That is Cameron’s aim, he wants to wrap himself in the Union Jack for the press at the risk of jeopardising Britain’s position within the European Union. Cameron’s promise of a referendum was done for the same reason, so his actions continue on a long term trend.
