Howard says no need for UK to leave Europe
Advocating a new relationship with Europe for Britain, Michael Howard the Conservative party leader yesterday refuted claims that his party would lead Britain out of Europe.
“It is lies and scaremongering to suggest that we are going to pull out of Europe,” Mr Howard told BIGfib.
“We would only have to do that if we failed to convince all of the other 24 nations within the EU to give up on forging closer links, and to go back to the loose free-trade association of the seventies, either that or to let Britain stay in the EC with all of the advantages of the EC but none of the commitments. That clearly isn’t going to happen, they would never be so mean, so we clearly won’t have to leave.”
