Will David Cameron deliver ‘associate membership’ of the EU for Britain?

The timetable for the EU referendum has yet to be announced but campaigners are already preparing for a vote next year. In a piece for POLITICO Europe today, I look at the various folks who will be campaigning for a Brexit and how they intend to win. While Matthew Elliott and Dominic Cummings are laying the foundations for a professional campaign based on a moderate message about jobs and economic security, Ukip has other ideas about how to win. The kippers are going to be a significant voice in the referendum but Nigel Farage has said he won’t be seeking to lead the Leave campaign. Instead, he appears to be content doing his own thing. The party believes that the top issue is going to be borders and immigration and it needs to be tackled head on. Therefore, Farage has kicked off his own ‘Say No — Believe in Britain’ tour to drum up support for a Brexit around the country.
