Letter: Britain and Europe: the sceptics reply
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: The Conservative "Grandees" letter, plus the constant bickering between old and new Labour, illustrate the need for proportional representation. It would allow a sanitary split in both Conservative and Labour parties and it is easy to speculate on the hard-right, moderate and hard-left groupings that would ensue. It would certainly solve my problem: I am a lifelong Conservative but loathe the politics of Portillo, Redwood and others.
