Euro-scepticism under David Cameron’s Leadership

Abstract

The present dissertation discusses the policy of Euro-scepticism in the U.K. precisely to the Prime Minister David Cameron’s leadership, with a focus on the causes, procedures and implications of this policy. The study comes to offer the direct reasons behind the raising of this phenomenon in Britain; the immigration mostly by its types, into and from Europe that confronted with the sense of superiority posed by the British. Euro-sceptic leaders who oppose the European organization argued that those strategies adopted by the government are tools for the protection of Britain’s interests in Europe and the world. This study explores the nature of British-European relations before and after the coming of Cameron. It points out the transformation of Britain from being a strong imperialist state throughout history into a member in the European Union, and which was rejected twice by a French veto. This work also, traces the evolution of Euro-scepticism throughout waves of rebellions inside the conservative party and the pressure over Cameron who has endured and resisted. The major finding of the current dissertation contains first the validation and the speculations rose around Cameron’s attempt to delay and even prevent the British to vote for withdrawing, and second his resignation after the Brexit
