Who makes EU policy in the Conservative party?

The EU continues to be a central issue for the Conservatives, dividing and distracting the party. Simon Usherwood argues that Cameron’s assorted pronouncements are a reflection of his need to maintain some semblance of unity, rather than any actual engagement with the issues. The sense amongst the eurosceptic backbenchers is that they have the advantage, that their course is right and that their leader is biddable, which he is to an appreciable degree.
