LA Times - Britain's David Cameron defends opt-out from new EU treaty, Dec 13, 2011

British Prime Minister David Cameron in Parliament
"Reporting from London— Prime Minister David Cameron insisted Monday that Britain would remain a full member of the European Union, despite his decision last week to opt out of an agreement by all 26 other EU nations to sign or consider joining a new treaty to harmonize their fiscal policies.
In a raucous session of the House of Commons, Cameron denied that Britain would find itself more cut off from Europe, a state of affairs many of his anti-EU colleagues in the Conservative Party would actually welcome. He also dismissed suggestions of a major crack in his coalition government, even though his own No. 2, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats, has condemned Cameron's decision."
