The Tories and Europe

I have often said that I feel I could vote Conservative again if Mr Cameron repeated the pledge he once made to repatriate powers from Europe.

Now Stuart Wheeler, the biggest donor to the Tory party, has left them and joined the UK Independence Party (with his chequebook). He says that Cameron is merely hoping that he doesn't have to say anything on Europe, that he wants the subject to go away.

Mr Wheeler has lost patience. Come on, Mr Cameron, say it and stop the rot.
