EU spending policies create dissent in UK
"It's in Britain's interests to compromise but it is awkward politically for the government, as it is with many governments having to cut spending at home but being called to increase spending in Europe," said Simon Tilford, chief economist at the CER.
"But Cameron is not in a position to go along with that (compromise). If he loses the vote it will be very hard to see how he can sign off on any increase in EU spending," Tilford said.
