I dont care what Cameron's reasons were .... he's standing up for Britain and stopping us being sucked even further down the Euro-drainpipe.
Actually he was in a lose / lose situation because he was going to be criticised whatever he did.
well there is a real worry !..you don't care what the reasons are !!
he is doing the bidding of The City and The Bankers..not you or I.
Britain cannot or will not leave the EU. That omlette has been too well scrambled.

The moment that David Cameron lost his EU argument
"The much-discussed Financial Transactions Tax issue already requires unanimity and therefore could never be imposed on the City of London without Britain's agreement. What is more, as was pointed out in Brussels with some vehemence, when it comes to financial services there have hardly ever been any cases of Britain being outvoted in the adoption of such legislation.
In simple terms, that means that Britain's request to move to unanimity was taken as a huge ask that had nothing to do with the subject at hand (saving the euro) or was a sign of bad faith (because it is driven by mistrust regarding future legislation).
(...)
A hostile view of this is that Mr Cameron overplayed his hand. In this version of events, the British prime minister thought the mood of the room was running towards Protocol 12, and because Protocol 12 is decided by unanimity, he thought he had the whip hand.
(...)
Did Mr Cameron miscalculate? Did he want to end up with a treaty being crafted at almost 26, with Britain on the outside? My source is certain that was not Mr Cameron's goal, and my source is not alone in this thinking."
