IAIN Duncan Smith is absolutely right to call for a referendum on the issue of the euro, whether or not Great Britain should relinquish its sovereignty and enter a Federal Europe, which is what entering the European Currency is really all about.

Those of us that voted on the European Economic Community voted for just that - not for Great Britain to be wholly integrated into a Federal European State.

Already, billions of pounds of hard-earned British taxpayers' money have been squandered on the corrupt and rotten institutions that make up the EC.

The EC needs a similar audit system to our own Audit Commission that has the power to expose corruption and incompetence. However, turkeys rarely vote for Christmas!
