The Tories were notably not a EU maximalist party and the only reason they added support for an in-out referendum was due to pressure from the side of the party who wanted "out".

The Tories are in fact not the same party as the Lib Dems, whose leader at the time, Nick Clegg, this thread is about. I'm not really sure why you're bringing them up.

the tory connection is obviously relevant to Clegg's political career, where his main accomplishment was working with them, destroying his own party in the process
