Tories On Message: Will It Work?

Fire of Liberty

Michael Howard has presented his vocal opposition to the UK joining the single European currency. I guess he has seen the sclerotic economies of Germany & France and doesn't want England to have such high unemployment rates that these nations currently have. Just read what The Daily Mail reported on Howard's public denunciation of the euro:

"I don't want British business to be burdened with all the regulation and red tape that weighs down on business in continental Europe," he said.

"When you hear Gordon Brown going on about the need to make the European economy more like America's, you might think he agreed with me.

"The great irony is that he's actually making Britain's economy more and more like those of continental Europe.

"Europe should be a market for British business, not an economic model."

Finally, the Tories are starting to talk like a party that wants to win (just refrain from calling Blair a Liar). I hope they can gain the big Mo and snatch a win from Labour. They just might by get a win if they keep up the good work.
