Cameron has announced a British referendum on the U.K.’s EU membership that could see the Brits leave the group as soon as 2017. That threat probably had a lot to do with the adoption of the lower budget, which was opposed by the French and the Italians, both of which want to maintain the high agricultural payments and infrastructure spending. And given the relative lack of success that austerity has brought the British, one can appreciate that argument.
