David Cameron has had plenty of time to formulate a fall-back plan should the Lisbon Treaty be ratified before he could call a referendum, and he has used it well. The strategy he unveiled yesterday was both coherent and credible, robustly Eurosceptic in tone while wholly realistic in ambition. It may not assuage hardliners, but it is probably enough to placate the wider party.
The Tory leader was right to highlight at the outset the shameful behaviour of the Government in reneging on its manifesto commitment to hold a referendum. He argued that this betrayal has done as much as the expenses scandal to undermine public trust in politicians.
