Michael Howard and Europe

On Sean Gabb's candidlist many moons ago, Mark Reckless cited that working for Michael Howard was evidence of Euroscepticism.

Can I also vouch for a Douglas Carswell, who like me joined the list a few weeks ago, and has been an active campaigner against Europe working with Michael Howard and Michael Spicer.

Moreover, as the Britain in Europe website indicates, Howard was the first MP to call for the repatriation of powers from Europe at a time when the Nice and Amsterdam treaties had not been signed.

The Tory party remains under Eurosceptic leadership.
