No, not really. for one thing, I suspect he's offerng this as a sop to his backwoodsmen and also a small but growing fraction of conservative voters who are peeling off to vote UKIP (eg my sister). They might be persuaded back into the fold if they think they can vote against europe.

However, if it came to it, given the chaos in the eurozone, I think a lot of people might vote no cos they think the EU and the euro are one and the same.

Scottish independence is also going down the tubes, so I think we're stuck as we are.
