\"Negotiations<\/a>
Negotiations regarding Britain’s status in the EU will not take place while Juncker is in office.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jean-Claude Juncker blocked<\/strong> <\/a>EU referendum with Britain, saying that re-negotiations regarding Britain’s treaty with the EU\u00a0will not happen while he is still president of the EU.<\/p>\n

In January of this year David Cameron promised to hold a referendum to amend Britain and the European Union’s relationship. Any changes, if they come, will not be until the end of 2019.<\/p>\n

Although Cameron promised a referendum on the UK\u2019s membership, he wanted to stay in the EU<\/strong><\/a> if the negotiations went favorable. His goal was to change the relationship between the Britain and the EU.<\/p>\n

If re-elected, Cameron will be forced to hold a referendum on EU membership without the option of reclaiming any power from Brussels. In this situation it will be more likely that Britain would leave the EU.<\/p>\n

An official told the Times<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cNo treaty change proposals are envisaged until after November 2019, the end of Mr Juncker\u2019s mandate as president of the commission.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this case negotiations would not begin until 2020.<\/p>\n

This incident comes after the Prime Minister very publicly tried to prevent Mr Juncker from becoming President of the European Commission and vowed<\/strong><\/a> that he would \u201creclaim powers from Brussels.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2015 Conservative party election manifesto, which Mr Cameron spear-headed,\u00a0states <\/strong><\/a>that Britain would \u201cwant national parliaments to be able to work together to block unwanted European legislation. And we want an end to our commitment to ‘ever closer union’ as enshrined in the treaty to which every country has to sign up.'”<\/p>\n

In order to avoid a Labour Government supported by the Scottish National Party, Mr Cameron also told members of the United Kingdom Independence Party (Ukip) that they would need to vote conservative.<\/p>\n

Nigel Farage, leader of Ukip, branded the Conservative manifesto a \u201cwork of fiction\u201d as the treaty is change is non-negotiable by the Conservative part. He said<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI challenge David Cameron to tell the British people this simple truth rather than dupe, delude and deceive them.\u201d<\/p>\n

European leaders in Brussels have already made clear that if Mr Cameron returns to Downing Street they will not accept any treaty changes before next year. Any amendments to the treaty would not be overhauled until 2025, and even that will require unanimous vote of all EU countries.<\/p>\n

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said that this statement from Brussels is nothing new<\/strong><\/a>. He also told the Times: \u201cIt was said there would be no changes after the Lisbon Treaty, but that was proved wrong. These latest claims will be proved wrong too.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommission President Juncker himself has said that answering the \u2018British question\u2019 is one of his key priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
