Poll casts doubt on Cameron's EU promise

Nearly three-quarters of people do not believe David Cameron will be able to deliver on his promise to bring back powers from the EU, according to a poll.

Some 51% think other members will block reforms, while 26% doubt the Prime Minister's skills as a negotiator.

Almost one in four suspects he wants to stay in the union even if Britain does not achieve a better deal.

The findings - which cast doubt on the electoral effectiveness of Mr Cameron's pledge of an in-out referendum by 2017 - come from a major piece of research commissioned by Tory peer Lord Ashcroft.

Isn't Cameron already a proven liar? Trust him (like any politician) at your peril.

The worrying statistic is the 25% that think he can do something about the EU. A certain PM (who I have the utmost disdain for) signed the UK away in the 60s.
Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.
