Letter: Europe: to stay in or to leave
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: A true debate on Europe is certainly to be welcomed. We should be given a clear choice between an independent Britain defending its national interests against the whole world, or full British participation in a wide, integrated and democratically controlled Europe.
But in the assessment which you make in your leading article ('To be or not to be in Europe?', 2 May), you omit one vital element. The European Union is a unique example of independent nations agreeing - often with bad grace - to be bound by the rule of law in their political and economic relations with one another. Is it for Britain to damage that principle by withdrawal?
Yours faithfully,
