Europe In or Out - Tory puzzle

In politics, timing, like luck, is very important.

I can't help thinking that Labour are about to pip the Tories to the post and announce that they will hold a referendum on membership of the EU, if they assume office after the next election.  They will probably say that they will campaign for continued membership etc. but, they will steal the thunder of the Conservatives and how many UKIP folks and votes will move across?

There is still time for the Conservatives to make a pledge but will they?  Or will, the Lib Dem tail continue to wag the Tory dog?

Just exactly what kind of hold do you think that the Lib Dems have, over the Tories?  All recent polls suggest that the Lib Dems are facing political oblivion, so does anyone believe they will rush to bring down the Coalition?  Come on, even though their 'policies' are stupid, doesn't mean that they are turkeys that would vote for an early Christmas.

I have asked before and will do so again - just what is it, that the Conservatives now stand for?  Could it be that the lack of a spine means that they can't stand for anything?
