Many people in Britain have long had major doubts about their country's membership in the European Union. At the end of October, Prime Minister David Cameron was able to defeat a parliamentary motion for a referendum on whether the UK should stay in the EU. However, many in his own party rebelled. Eurosceptics claim that bureaucracy and overregulation in the EU cost Britain billions. Just last week, David Cameron himself fanned anti-EU sentiment by claiming that the euro crisis is having a "chilling effect" on the UK economy.
