This is why the Tories are losing all their core voters, and this is the whole reason for the existence of UKIP in the first place.<br /><br />If the Tories want to win they have to <i>do what people want</i>.<br /><br />Just talking, and then behaving just like all the rest, doesn't work any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12471112.post-4813136566237764552006-12-20T15:59:00.000+00:002006-12-20T15:59:00.000+00:00I agree with a lot of that.

I think UKIP might do better concentrating on a few key seat where the sitting MP is Europhilliac.<br /><br />I'd certainly vote UKIP myself under such circumstances.Peter Risdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17792275403997179926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12471112.post-7712669480232927312006-12-20T14:20:00.000+00:002006-12-20T14:20:00.000+00:00Mr. Redwood is yesterday's man.

We get the ire of Tories because some of our policies are those once championed by them. What would Mr. Redwood have us do? Give up? And the domestic agenda IS influenced by what happens in the EU. From council tax to NHS `reforms' to id cards, they all require a legislative base. Where do you think our laws are REALLY formed now? It suits the media and the big parties to think domestic issues and `Europe' are two different things. That is why we must press on...Jens Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585705947805924847noreply@blogger.com
