Britain - EU treaty veto causes rift in UK coalition

Published on Dec 11, 2011 by
http://www.euronews.net/ Tensions are rising within the two parties of the UK's coalition government since Prime Minister David Cameron vetoed changes to the EU treaty on Friday.

There are reports in the British press that Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg is privately angry at Cameron, according to a source close to Clegg.

However, Clegg has not publicly criticised the prime minister, and in a television interview with the BBC on Sunday, Clegg said he was 'disappointed' with the outcome of the summit in Brussels.
