Conservative lawmakers have set out red lines to David Cameron that make it less likely he’ll be able to repeat his current coalition deal with the Liberal Democrats, according to a person involved in the talks.
As well as a referendum on membership of the European Union, Tory members of Parliament are demanding a rejection of the “mansion tax” on the most expensive homes and a pledge to retain the Trident nuclear deterrent in any deal after the 2015 election. Both demands run counter to key Liberal Democrat policies.
