British Prime Minister David Cameron is “fully aware” that London’s exit from the EU is the “only option” to escape the bloc’s non-negotiable free movement principle, the Eurosceptic UK Independence Party's small business spokeswoman told Sputnik on Tuesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik), Daria Chernyshova – UKIP and other anti-migrant and Eurosceptic voices across the United Kingdom largely support Cameron’s campaign pledge to hold a so-called Brexit referendum by the end of 2017.

“If you want to see Britain have the ability to control her own borders again, voting to leave the EU is simply the only option,” Margot Parker said. “Cameron is fully aware that the free movement of people [within the EU] is not up for negotiation.”

Parker said the British leader’s four-point EU reform plan, sent to European Council President Donald Tusk and earlier on Tuesday, are unachievable without structural reforms. In addition to free movement exemptions for the United Kingdom, Cameron outlined sovereignty, monetary and competitiveness demands in his letter to Brussels.

“None of these demands can be achieved without treaty change and this is something which has been categorically ruled out from all sides of the debate. Cameron has now not even requested treaty change,” the UKIP member of the European Parliament stressed.

Parker urged Cameron to face up to the fact that “no renegotiation is possible” with Brussels, leaving British borders open to nearly 500 million people.

“It is either the status quo or Britain leaves, a third way is impossible,” she stressed. “This is something which is simply not up for discussion.
