Why metric?
In this section we consider the question in some depth, but a more concise
summary can be found in our press section.
We should change to metric because:
The need to change to metric is not a party political issue. Articles
in favour of metrication have appeared in The
Mail on Sunday, the Daily Express and The
Spectator, while both Lord Howe and Malcolm
Bruce MP have written pieces in support.
There are many people in Britain who find that using metric makes
their
work or hobbies easier. UKMA has invited people from different walks of life
to say why they use metric and why Britain should finish its changeover. (See
our
Endorsements page).
In addition to the positive arguments for metrication we deal with objections
to metrication on our myths page. The press section
also contains a summary
on
this aspect of metrication.
