Couldn't the same be said of_all_ parties, over one issue or another?
Labour, over socialism, for a start...


It's not pro or anti-europe. Everybody, UKIP include are very pro
Europe. It's the EU that is the issue.

The point is that until recently the fiction that 'EU membership didn't
matter' was carefully maintained by all political parties.

UKIP have thrown a huge spanner in that works. After all, if the EU
didn't matter, why are we having an election in 2 weeks time?

UKIP have managed to turn the whole European elections into not 'whether
liberals tories or labour have the best policies to represent is in the
EU' but 'should we even be in this ridiculous discredited organisation
at all?

And the polls seem to be saying that in certain parts of the country the
answer is in fact 'No' from better than 40% of the voters.

and given that a awful lot of people are in the 'dunno/dont care'
category, that is a remarkable message to send to the main tow parties
and to Brussels.

Which will be totally lost on Cameron.
