Britain 'will get EU referendum within a YEAR' as Cameron set to reveal fast-track plans
The Prime Minister is set to announce the date during his speech at the Conservative Party conference in October in a bid to take advantage of burgeoning support for the EU.
Although the referendum was announced in the Queen’s Speech in May, the specific month has so far been a mystery – with the Government only saying it will be held before the end of 2017.
But now Cameron thinks that a vote next year will give him enough time to promote his planned package of EU reforms which he is currently negotiating.
It is thought that the recent turmoil in Greece and fervent efforts by EU member states to keep the country inside the union were “influential” on the date being brought forward.
