Eurodanger
Sir: You argue (Leader, 6 June), apropos of the consequences of abandoning the pound for the euro, that 'if the electorate were ever to accept this further erosion of the power of the Westminster Parliament — as they have accepted the consequences of the Single European Act and the Maastricht treaty — then any party that wished to gov- ern Britain would have to accept it as well'. But the political situation would surely change very quickly and very drastically if a major party started to reveal to the elec- torate what those consequences actually are. At present it seems that the only peo- ple who are aware of them are either com- mitted Europhiles, who very understand- ably do not want a wider public to know what they have been doing until their achievement becomes irreversible, or else Europhobes, who are forever trying but failing to get these revolutionary changes widely publicised.
