Prime Minister David Cameron will let members of his cabinet decide for themselves whether to campaign for Britain to stay in or leave the European Union -- a so-called Brexit -- in a referendum expected later this year after he’s renegotiated membership terms. Assuming Cameron gets the deal he’s seeking and opts to campaign for staying in the EU, which way are his ministers likely to go?
