You presumably mean "having some balls" when you say "over the top"?

If other countries object and this deal falls apart, anyone who suggests Cameron called it wrong has their head in the sand. Cameron's actual rating would lie somewhere between 'very shrewd' and 'expertly played'.

He will not only have appeased those on the right of his party, but the LibDems can also demonstrate to their own Euro-centric wing that the deal was a dud, and that they made the right call.

Politically, it's all upside domestically, but more important in my view is the fact that he has shown some backbone and not sleep-walked us into a bad deal.

Blair and Brown would have minced right into line.
