However, the attitudes displayed by the major parties are aptly illustrated by their representatives on this thread - or not on this thread, as the case may be. Jaysay directly contradicts one of the major policy planks of his party, while Andrew's contribution os a 20 year old quote from Margaret Thatcher. Meanwhile, the Labour lot maintain a blanket silence on the whole issue. As Garinda, correctly predicts, this will simply drive people towards right wing extremists, so carry on with your attitudes at your peril!

I'm not a 'representative' though. I have my own views, many of which I share with the Conservative party which is why I am a member. I've had a great time over the weekend and really wasn't interested or up to writing much, so I decided a quote would suffice. A quote that the party you support holds quiet dear to them. Mr Farage in fact spoke on a platform for the Bruges Group several feet in front of me before attending a dinner as a guest speaker along with Mrs T, with the quote as the main introduction to the event. The quote is as accurate now as it was then - a federal Europe is not what we want.
