If the Labour party said it would withdraw I would vote for them. Its an argument that has to be won over the whole of the UK electorate.<br /><br />It would be great to have a leave the EU party not aligned with either left or right. UKIP is an unwholesome collection of broken down ex-Tories some of whom fancy a go on the EU gravy train plus a load of juvenile wannabee MEPS who are there for the same reason.<br /><br />Eruc EEric Edmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11661176160109187800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112651969466158066.post-3945620255971494692012-02-08T02:00:25.011-08:002012-02-08T02:00:25.011-08:00Fine.

Do I see a party developing a truly Conservative agenda on UK issues as well as an anti-EU position?<br /><br />That would be far more productive than being a collection of independents, or (pointlessly) taking scattered potshots at UKIP under NF from the sidelines, which doesn't resonate with voters at all.<br /><br />NF can ignore scattered such small arms fire. He couldn't cope with another anti-EU party developing a coherent domestic agenda.<br /><br />The party would be pro-withdrawal and pro a domestic "Conservative" agenda, and not concentrate on the sterile approach of being anti-UKIP. <br /><br />UKIP would then start to wither, but that wouldn't be the main point.John Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12989707573947742653noreply@blogger.com
