Talk:Pro-Euro Conservative Party

Untitled

The reason "Pro" is so unpopular is because it forms the word "pro-euro". - Ben Gray

something's wrong here

Highest share of the vote since the 1983 general election? If I remember correctly, the tories got a higher share of the vote in 1987

cite needed

"This was despite a campaign in which the BBC was shown as giving equal coverage with the Pro-Euro Conservative Party as they did to the Conservative Party, and that a number of candidates were shown to be from other parties."

(a) we need a cite for this. I'm sure the Tory party made these claims, but we need to source it.

(b) what does the last part mean? "a number of candidates were shown to be from other parties" ??? Morwen - Talk 08:15, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I've had a look and tried to make it a bit more neutral. Mpntod 19:21, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Merger with Lib Dems

I have removed the statement "Leader John Stevens called the Conservative Party under their then newly elected leader Iain Duncan Smith "a cancer of extremism and xenophobia". At least 25 of its claimed 500 members joined the Liberal Democrats" because it is not supported by the links.

The 25 figure seems to come from the website of Tunbridge Wells Lib Dems, but does not refer specifically to the Pro-Euro Conservatives. It includes people such as Emma Nicholson, who defected from Conservative to Lib Dem years before the Pro-Euro Conservatives were even created, and Bill Newton Dunn who was re-elected as a Conservative in 1999 and defected to Lib Dem in 2000, without being a member of the Pro-Euro Conservatives.

The other references refer to approximately 20 (including the leader) joining the Lib Dems and urging members and supporters to follow suit.Danfolkestone (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC).
