As a WC person I'll say what I think, you are letting us down.

Graham, I would like to tell you(respectfully) that you are wrong if you think that 95% of people don't give a toss about Europe.....that view may be convenient for you, but it is not correct.
The biggest worries for the ordinary man/woman in the street are those around immigration and the EU.
I travel on buses and listen to conversations of ordinary people, and the constant topic of interest is the EU and the erosion of democracy....of not being in control of our own destiny....mainly because decisions which our government should be in control of are being dealt with from Brussels.
The EU wants closer political integration and closer financial integration...they see this being the solution to all the ills that currently beset the union, the British people do not want to become further entangled in the corrupt organisation that is Europe.......which currently seems at this moment to be ruled/directed by France and Germany.
How long will it be before Merkel and Sarkozy decide that we need a leader who is more in tune with the EU and nominates Nick Clegg(a dedicated europhile) as leader.
You are going to laugh and tell me that this cannot happen....won't happen. But I'm not so sure.
We, the people, did not get a chance to give our views....if we had, you would see that what you have said is not true.
