Christian Odendahl, chefsekonom på CER, tycker att det är lika bra att få folkomröstningen överstökad. ”Den leder till osäkerhet för näringslivet. 2017 är inget idealiskt år eftersom det är val i Tyskland och Frankrike då.” Tories bräckliga majoritet ger mer makt åt partiets EUskeptiker. ”David Cameron kan inte längre gömma sig bakom Liberaldemokraterna för att tämja dem.”

Den tyska EU-experten Christian Odendahl tror att det kan bli svårt för David Cameron att visa upp framgångar i Bryssel till en folkomröstning 2017. ”Det är inget bra år för förhandlingar med EU, eftersom både Tyskland och Frankrike har val då. Stora förändringar är uteslutna. Om han tvingas kampanja mot Europa blir det ett hårt slag.”
