THE Conservatives who deposed the Eurosceptic Margaret Thatcher have been forced by Ukip to say that they “promise” a referendum, if re-elected and after the hopeless delaying tactic of re-negotiation.

Eurosceptic Conservatives have stated that they know the “promise” to be worthless.

In the media we see the confused sitting on the rails which separate the “promise” from reality and when the demise of the Nation State is mentioned, the Lib Dem and Labour politicians are not even at the races.

Only backing Ukip can move us towards regaining self-government, for those with the wit and honesty to acknowledge the massive disadvantage of our continued political involvement with the EU.
