Letter: Britain slow to take its place in a 'multi-speed' Europe
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: It is ironic that, by refusing to allow the people a voice in deciding the future of Britain's sovereignty and place in Europe through a referendum, the main political parties are now asking us to vote for them - on Europe. But on 9 June we have one opportunity, so let us keep the vote simple and only vote for parties that fully support a referendum on Europe.
Britain's future as a sovereign state will be decided at the Inter- Governmental Conference in 1996, so we only have two years left in which to get the major parties to listen to our views.
Yours faithfully,
