BIRMINGHAM: Prime Minister David Cameron said on Tuesday it would not break his heart if Britain left the European Union, but said his preference was for his country to stay in a reformed EU after a new settlement with Brussels.

Cameron, who has promised to renegotiate Britain’s EU membership before offering voters an in-out referendum by 2017, is under pressure from the anti-EU UK Independence Party (UKIP) and some of his own lawmakers to toughen his rhetoric on Europe.

When asked about a statement he would have been heartbroken to see Scotland leave the United Kingdom earlier this month, Cameron said: “I feel about a thousand times more strongly about our United Kingdom than I do about the European Union.” (IANS)
