British Prime Minister David Cameron has reportedly have drawn up a four-point plan of key demands as the price for keeping Britain in the European Union.

The demands as reported by the Telegraph are as follows:

The Telegraph has reported that Cameron has sent diplomats to win support from 27 European countries for a new deal between Britain and Brussels ahead of an “in-out” referendum.

A new campaign will on Monday attempt to persuade voters to choose to stay in the EU, after Eurosceptics who want to pull out of Europe started a rival operation last week, the report added.

Cabinet sources have told the Telegraph they are confident they can find a way to keep Britain inside the EU with better terms of membership. Their plan involves:

1 - Forcing Brussels to make “an explicit statement” that Britain will be kept out of any move towards a European superstate. This will require an exemption for the UK from the EU’s founding principle of “ever closer union”.

2 - An “explicit statement” that the euro is not the official currency of the EU, making clear that Europe is a “multi-currency” union. Ministers want this declaration in order to protect the status of the pound sterling as a legitimate currency that will always exist.

3 - A new “red card” system to bring power back from Brussels to Britain. This would give groups of national parliaments the power to stop unwanted directives being handed down and to scrap existing EU laws.

4 - A new structure for the EU itself. The block of 28 nations must be reorganised to prevent the nine countries that are not in the eurozone being dominated by the 19 member states that are, with particular protections for the City of London.

Diplomats believe this plan represents the most likely deal they can achieve because it is so difficult to negotiate a solution that is acceptable to 27 other EU member states, as well as the European Commission and the European Parliament.

Alan Hart, a UK-based author, journalist and researcher, has criticized Cameron’s handling of the issue’s of Britain’s membership to the European Union.

Hart has told Press TV that the prime minister wants to keep Britain inside the EU, adding that his demands are meant to calm his critics as well as his Conservative colleagues in what could eventually be a lucrative deal for Britain.

“I believe Cameron has got himself into a mess,” he said. “I think he wants Britain to stay in the European Union but in order to appease his own anti-European right wing [party] … he has made all sorts of suggestions on how he can get a better deal from Europe”.

Hart added that Cameron may get a deal that he can just about sell. “But on the other hand, the final judgment on Cameron may be that he was the prime minister who wanted to keep Britain in Europe but because of the way he played, he was the prime minister who got us out of Europe. We don’t know how it is going to end,” Hart told Press TV’s UK Desk in an exclusive interview.
