AS A lifelong Liberal I don’t need any instruction from a Tory councillor on what I should believe in.
Cllr North’s letter was correct, that the British commissioner in the EU, Lord Hill, was appointed by David Cameron without our consent.
The commission is not the senior body. The European Council is, on which Britain is represented by Cameron.
Much as I regret that, it is an essential principle of democracy that we consent to be governed by people whose policies we despise if they “win” an election.
Councillor Keith Watts, Whitchurch ward, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council
