	Pro-Euro Conservative Party - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Pro-Euro Conservative Party was set up by John Stevens, a deselected Member of the European Parliament, who believed that the UK Conservative Party was too Eurosceptic.
		This was despite a campaign in which the BBC was shown as giving equal coverage with the Pro-Euro Conservative Party as they did to the Conservative Party, and that a number of candidates were shown to be from other parties.
		Apart from getting 3.8% of the vote in the 1999 Kensington and Chelsea against Michael Portillo, the Pro-Euro Conservative Party faded away with one consultants report claiming that their title consisted of the "four most unpopular words in the English language" (although why "pro" is so unpopular is not explained).

	BBC News \| Parties and Issues \| Pro-Euro Conservative Party
		The Pro-Euro Conservative Party was formally launched in February 1999 by Conservative MEPs John Stevens and Brendan Donnelly.
		The party's main aim is to get the UK to join the single currency as soon as possible, and to apply pro-European pressure on the Conservative Party in the same way Eurosceptics did to John Major's government.
		Although the Pro-Euro Conservative Party's predominant issue is the euro, it also calls for the Conservative Party to reform itself and return to more moderate Tory values.

	Encyclopedia: Euroscepticism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Currently, euroscepticism is a significant current of opinion within the Conservative Party, to an extent perceived to be greater than in any comparably important political party in any other EU member state (but this is to be expected in a country where a large proportion of the population is eurosceptic).
		Conservative MEPs vetoed this move because of the presence within the UEN of representatives of neo-fascist parties who do not share similar domestic politics.
		The party was subsequently weakened by a leadership struggle and the defection of prominent member Robert Kilroy-Silk.

		The level of Conservative support in the polls now is pretty much the same as it was in David Cameron’s honeymoon period, and while their lead over Labour is now larger than at the start of 2006, it is because of the fall in Labour’s support rather than an increase in Conservative support.
		Populus’s conference poll found that people’s perception of the Conservative party on the left-right scale is pretty much unchanged - people see Cameron as to the left of the Conservative party, but they don’t think he has moved the party to the left.
		A poll of Conservative Party members by ConservativeHome ha found that the overwhelming majority of Conservative party members would baulk at the idea of a coalition in the event of a hung Parliament.

	Politics \| Pro-European Tories join Lib Dems
		The decision by the Pro-Euro Conservative party follows a string of disappointing election results and the party's recent decision to back the Liberal Democrat candidate in the Ipswich byelection.
		The party was founded in 1999 by Conservatives unhappy at the increasingly anti-European tone of William Hague's leadership.
		Initial hopes that the party could become an independent electoral force along the lines of the SDP were encouraged by the opinion polls, but at the party's first electoral test, the 1999 European elections, the party got less than 2% of the vote.

		A cursory glance at the catastrophic performance of the "Pro Euro Conservative Party" compared to the stunning results for the UK Independence Party in recent years would have confirmed this strategic error.
		By consolidating fundamental Conservative policies on sexuality, taxes, the family and defence (and the sovereignty of the United States in the face of the UN) George Bush motivated his own party base.
		He thereby motivated his membership to canvass, he attracted the enterprising of other parties, the conservative families of other parties, the skilled workers of other parties, the moral majority of other parties and thus attracted sufficient conservative Blacks, Latinos and Jews to eat into traditional Democrat support.

	Editorial: Tory conference flop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		William Haig’s desperate attempt to rally his demoralised, disorientated and ageing Party was always going to be hard going: but in the event the main message that was banged home was that the Tories are unelectable in the foreseeable future.
		Haig’s decision to confront the political divide over Europe, and the single currency issue, proved to be the biggest watershed, and could yet lead to a split in the Party, with the formation of a break-away pro-Euro Conservative party, more akin to Helmut Kohl’s recently ousted Christian Democrats.
		Since Haig is now cemented into diehard opposition to the Euro, and clearly a prisoner of his party’s xenophobic hard-right, it makes it increasingly unlikely that he can lure this influential layer back into the fold.

		Nevertheless, the poor showing of the Conservative Party nationally was clearly evident here, and many people who switched to Labour in 1997, both from the Conservatives and from the Lib Dems, decided to re-elect the Labour Party, albeit on a markedly reduced turnout:
