It's not only the EU leaders that have issues with UK PM David Cameron and his proposed reforms

The Telegraph newspaper, a Tory biased publication, has printed an open letter that says the PM has dismissed the views of the very people who helped secure his election victory.

"As Conservative Party members and supporters, we were proud to campaign for a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union during the 2015 general election. It was a historic opportunity to secure a democratic vote for the British public on this vital matter.

The goodwill of the Prime Minister committing to a referendum has been undermined by his comments this week in the House of Commons urging his MPs to ignore the views of members of the Conservative Party and its associations. It was through the dedication and hard work of Conservative Party members that David Cameron secured the majority he needed to form a government. Grassroots Conservatives pounded the streets in all weather, knocking on doors, running street stalls and raising money to ensure that their Conservative candidates were elected and Mr Cameron would secure a Conservative majority. It is deeply regrettable that the Prime Minister dismisses the very people who helped secure his victory, and he should remember that no prime minister has a divine right to rule.

The EU referendum is a testing time for the Conservative Party as it evokes such passionate views on both sides of the debate. We urge Mr Cameron to accept that loyal Conservative Party members want the opportunity for a balanced debate and that he and his colleagues should listen to the views expressed by all at the grassroots.

We urge the Prime Minister to refrain from showing any disrespect to the loyal servants who helped him win a majority government"

The letter is signed by a number of grass-roots Conservative activists and demonstrate just how tough a job Cameron has in selling any EU reforms package to his own party faithful, let alone the electorate at large.
