Letter: An opt-out from EU elections
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.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Sarah Lambert ('Your vote really matters', 23 May) states: 'Whatever your opinion of Europe - or John Major - vote, vote, vote on 9 June.'
The problem is that I am not a Europhile or a Euro-sceptic, but a Euro-atheist. I have no animosity towards President Delors or Commissioner Brittan. I simply do not want to have anything to do with the whole farrago.
May I be allowed to negotiate my own opt-out of the Treaty of Rome, under the principle of subsidiarity?
Yours faithfully,
