Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed to the House of Commons that government ministries could campaign for Britain's exit from the EU.
According to The Guardian, Cameron said ministries cam make recommendations on whether UK should leave EU or not. This announcement comes after the renegotiation of the terms of the nation's membership was recently concluded.
"My intention is that at the conclusion of the renegotiation, the government should reach a clear recommendation and then the referendum will be held. But it is in the nature of a referendum that it is the people, not the politicians, who decide," said Cameron in a statement. "As I indicated before Christmas, there will be a clear government position, but it will be open to individual ministers to take a different personal position while remaining part of the government."
Meanwhile, The Telegraph reported that Cameron was only forced to approve this freedom for ministers to campaign for Brexit as members of his Cabinet were on the brink of resigning over the "Brexit." The Prime Minister announced the suspension of "collective responsibility" in the creation of the referendum. His announcement came after Leader of the House of Commons, Chris Graying, threatened resign over the issue.
Cameron may be pushing for the "Brexit," but he is also aggressive in setting EU diplomacy. Bloomberg News wrote, Cameron went to Bavaria to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel, along with her allies, the Christian Social Union. After that, he will go to Hungary. Last November, he went to Austria, which marks the first time in 30 years that a British prime minister visited the country. That was just one of the two dozen visits he made across Europe.
The prime minister could use all the European allies he could get since his political survival depends on the 27 other leaders to agree on Britain's EU membership, which can sell as concessions to the British public.
