Letter: Europe's benefits
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: William Hague has called on the Government to abandon its commitment in principal to join the single currency. Its "keep the pound" campaign aims to run "a simple and emotional" crusade on the importance of not joining the euro.
Exactly the opposite is required. The people of Britain are not simple and are not always emotional. They have an overwhelming desire to be involved in a constructive debate about the euro and an appetite to know more.
The very benefits of a stable economy, reduced exchange rate volatility, low interest rates, price comparability, low inflation and a single market for business borrowing are all topics for greater discussion.
Our country's failure to participate in the final completion of Europe's single market by being part of the euro group will most likely put us at considerable disadvantage when dealing with the rest of Europe and other world trading blocks.
