If folks over there are really concerned about membership in the EU ... and I have read somewhere that 95% don't give a flying you-know-what about it

... why not turn the next general election into a vote on EU membership? Let the candidates know that your vote will go only to a party that supports getting out of europe.
Just heard on the news that here in God's country, a grass roots movement has started to unite the left ... this isn't commie stuff: left seems to be defined as a desire to get rid of the tories. Even conservatives are joining. This would mean that in many ridings, Liberals, the NDP, and the Greens would support a single candidate against a tory incumbent. The tories are not listening to the people ... and this is the response that many seem to think will work. People are beginning to realize that the best way to effect change in Ottawa is to vote anyone-but-a-tory. This, like a referendum on EU membership, is a single-issue vote. But for Britain, membership in the EU ... think of being in the EU as having a cabin on Titanic ... is possibly the most important question of all. I don't know how you guys see it from the inside, but from this side of the pond, it looks like the EU as we know it is finished ... done. And I'm sure you are aware that many politicians ... particularly the Huns, go figure, eh

... are considering that a true political union is the only way out of the mess. Get ready for the Fourth Reich ... oh, and the earthquakes as the "millions of the mouthless dead" start spinning in their graves.
