I don't believe Cameron’s promise of renegotiation nor do I trust him to give us a fair referendum. Negotiating a deal that is fair to the UK with 26 other countries in the space of 18 months at most is an impossible task.
Furthermore, the senior members & officials of the EU have already said that one of the key EU issues - free movement of people - is NOT up for negotiation anyway.
Even if Cameron is able to bring back some kind of deal from Brussels, the EU does not have a good track record of keeping to its promises of concessions to member states, or of respecting the will of the peoples of those states
Legislative power - ie, the power to govern - has been surrendered by successive governments that have agreed to a political union that the rest of us never agreed to. At each election, the Tories, Labour, LibDems & Plaid have offered us the same thing - staying in the EU.
Labour, Plaid, LibDems & Greens continue to deny us a say in our future. Camheron & the Tories may be promising renegotiation & a referendum now, but they have done so grudgingly at best and Cameron has said that he will campaign for us to stay in the EU, even though he cannot know what the outcome of his negotiation will be
