In a letter to the Times in the closing stages of the European elections London's Euro-MP Baroness Sarah Ludford has urged pro-Europeans to

"The European elections, coming as they do in the lead-up to a referendum on the constitution and to a general election, will cause an internal conflict in the Conservative Party which will, I believe, be destructive.

"Conservative supporters who also support Britain playing a full role in the EU have to decide if, at least for these European elections, it is time to leave the sinking ship of the Tory party. As support slips from the Conservatives to the UKIP the Eurosceptic Tories are sending their message to the leadership. Pro-Europeans should consider doing the same."
