On 1st November 2014 we won't be able to vote ourselves out of the European Union. They have put in the following clause:

Treaty on European Union. Article 16
“(…)
4. As from 1 November 2014, a qualified majority shall be defined as at least 55 % of the members of the Council, comprising at least fifteen of them and representing Member States comprising at least 65 % of the population of the Union.
A blocking minority must include at least four Council members, failing which the qualified majority shall be deemed attained.
The other arrangements governing the qualified majority are laid down in Article 238(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.


This means we won't be able to referendum our way out of the treaty as they'll have the power to block it.

May I suggest we all join UKIP asap as Cameron is playing for time.
