U.K.'s Cameron to vow EU referendum if reelected from MarketWatch.com - MarketPulse LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron plans to announce Wednesday a national referendum by 2017 on whether his nation will remain in the European Union, according to reports citing Cameron's prepared remarks. Holding such a vote will be contingent on Cameron's Conservative Party winning a fresh mandate in 2015, with the Financial Times describing the move as a "high-risk strategy which will test the willingness of Paris and Berlin to cut the U.K. a better membership deal." The British leader will promise to hold the vote sometime during the first half of the next five-year parliamentary term, marking the first time in recent years that a European Union member has put such a choice before its people, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
