How very wrong you are - I am a long term supporter of UKIP and spend a great deal of time working to make UKIP electable by trying to clean up the party and restore it to its members to act to lead Britain out of The EU.

I believe, in fact I know, EUkip is out of touch with mainstream beliefs when they discover just how corrupt they are.
They have existed for 16 years - with a total of about 70 years of MEP service. Can YOU name anything they have achieved and they did virtually nothing as the New Constitution slammed the door on our Prison.

Can you locate a single solitary briefing paper by EUkip related to getting Britain out of the EU?

I am far more interested in the calibre and hygene of the beer in the glass and am not remotely interested in the froth on the top!

No one ever said you can't fool some of the people some of the time.

May I remind you that ALL the intelligent political commentators expected them to get 3>5 MEPs and the ONLY reason they got more elected was 'The Dustbin Vote' Tories, Labour and LibLab or if you rather use a term I coined some years ago The LibLabCon failing totally to understand the ALLOWances scheme set up to pay MPs a salary rise obliquely and believing the trashy papers that failed to explain the FACTS in a feeding fest of no small proportion.

Do not forget EUkip in the previous parliament sat as members of The IndDemGroup a pro EU group!! Derek Clark EUkip MEP on the instructions of Nigel Farage EUkip MEP leader of EUkip and chairman of The IndDem pro EU Group, signed an agreement that Britain should be subject to GREATER subsidiarity to The EU and another that EUkip would work with the EU committees to strengthen their control over vassal states including Britain.

I hope this helps your understanding of the facts.

Regards,
Greg L-W.
