The promise of a referendum helps David Cameron win a majority. Nigel Farage starts to campaign for Brexit. Boris Johnson and Michael Gove decide whether to back Leave or Remain.

As David Cameron wins a shock majority at the 2015 general election, the implications immediately dawn on all concerned. There is no coalition negotiation to stop the Conservatives from fulfilling an election pledge to hold a referendum on whether to leave the EU.

Nigel Farage fails to win a seat and resigns as UKIP leader but quickly U-turns. He sets up Leave.EU to campaign for Brexit. Meanwhile, as Cameron continues his negotiation with the EU, his demands are watered down. It makes it even more important he recruits Boris Johnson and Michael Gove to the Remain campaign - but they haven't yet made a decision.
