London, England-David Cameron’s government experienced the largest ever Conservative revolt over Europe in the House of Commons on Monday with 82 Conservative MPs defying his orders to vote against holding a referendum on Britain’s membership in the European Union (EU). It was double the number of MPs who last rebelled in 1993 when 41 of them defied John Major over the Maastricht Treaty which gave us the political structures of the European Union we see today and the foundation on which the Euro was created.
