Dr Gabb
 
While I may not have to worry about the rigors of selection committees again for a couple of years I would not like anyone from my constituency to be in any doubt about my views on economic and political integration.
 
Suffice to say that I won't be voting to join the Euro until I can fly to France on the back of a pig.

Dear Mr Bonner,

Many thanks for your e-mail of last 24th May.  I think I can interpret your statement as a yes to the Candidlist questions, and I have accordingly reclassified you as a sceptic.

We thank you for helping to make the Candidlist more accurate.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Sean Gabb
Candidlist Webmaster



Note

The Candidlist questions are:

Do you answer in the affirmative both of the following:
1) If elected or re-elected to Parliament, would you oppose our joining the Eurozone even if joining were to be recommended by the Party leadership?

2) If elected or re-elected to Parliament and required to choose between accepting the supremacy of European Union law in this country and leaving the European Union, would you vote for British withdrawal?

If you cannot answer both of the above in the affirmative, do you accept the line currently taken by William Hague, which is to oppose our joining the Eurozone for this and for the next Parliament and to resist any further British integration into the European Union?
