LETTER: Europe vs America
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Europe vs America
Sir: I was amused by W H White's statement (letter, 5 March) that the Conservatives "have a clear position [on Europe] and which is popular with the public".
In June, they will be asking us to vote for them, so they can take their seats with the European People's Party group in the European Parliament. Here is an extract from the EPP website:
"The transition to the euro will permit greater prosperity, new markets will be opened up and the consumer will be the main ultimate beneficiary.... The euro will give them the opportunity to increase their business."
How can they stand on an anti-European platform at home and join that very pro-European group in Brussels?
