'Coalition' to oppose single currency
By Andy McSmith, Chief Political Correspondent (Filed: 10/06/2002)

The campaign to stop Britain joining the single currency will be a coalition including Labour and Liberal voters, trade unions, businessmen and the Tory party, Iain Duncan Smith, the Conservative leader, insisted yesterday.

Although he vowed that the Tories would be "vigorously" involved, Mr Duncan Smith was implicitly backing the strategy set out by Dominic Cummings.

Mr Cummings, director of strategy at Conservative Central Office, had earned a public rebuke last week for suggesting that the best chance of winning a referendum on the euro would be to avoid giving the impression that it was a Tory campaign.

He said that "about the only thing less popular than the euro is the Tory party." While leading Conservatives were appalled by Mr Cummings's choice of words, many thought that his strategy was right.

Mr Duncan Smith sidestepped the question of which is more despised by the public, the Conservative Party or the euro, when he told yesterday's Breakfast with Frost programme: "Actually every political party is less popular than the pound."
