MOSCOW, November 5 (RIA Novosti) — UK Prime Minister David Cameron was accused of weasel words for his assumingly unclear stance on the issue of Britain leaving the European Union during a weekly Prime Minister's Questions session in the parliament, The Guardian reported Wednesday.
Ed Miliband, the leader of the parliamentary opposition, grilled the prime minister on whether his position has changed since the 2010 claims that Cameron would never campaign for an "out" of the European Union vote.
In response, Cameron stressed that he has a plan on renegotiation of Britain's EU membership and wants the country to stay in a reformed European Union. He, however, did not provide a clear answer to Miliband's question.
"Renegotiation is going nowhere; he's caught between his backbenchers… and the national interest. He daren't say yes and he daren't say no. He's a don't know prime minister," Miliband said as quoted by The Guardian.
In March, Cameron outlined a plan on renegotiating UK membership in the European Union. The conditions include "Free movement to take up work, not benefits," and "Powers flowing away from Brussels, not always to it."
The prime minister also promised that a referendum on Britain's exit from the European Union would be held in 2017 should the renegotiating fail. This would be possible if the Conservatives secure a majority in the 2015 general election.
