Letter: Don't bet on EMU

Sir: Mr Hague is balloting his party members for their views on the euro ("Hague takes on his euro critics", 8 September) but is ignoring the fact that there are many voters who have always voted Conservative but who are not members of the party.

I am one of those voters who did not vote for the Labour Party because it was motivated by narrow sectional interest. Now that, however, the Conservative Party under its present leadership is heeding the narrow horizon and the dogmatic sectional views of right-wingers, while the Labour Party is broadening its horizons and widening its heart, I will cease giving the Conservative Party my support.
