Clarke: My part in William's triumph
Article Abstract:
Former UK Chancellor Kenneth Clarke believes that the Conservative party's strong performance in the elections to the European Parliament is partly attributable to the fact that he began making speeches defending the euro. He feels that the silence of the Conservative pro-Europeans played a significant role in the outcome of these elections. He emphasizes that the Conservative MEP list features more people from his wing of the Conservative party than Eurosceptics.
