CRAIG Halliday assures us that he did vote, but does not enlighten us as to which party he supported.
The truth is that it doesn't matter, because if it were Labour, Tory or Lib Dem then he voted for the EU control of our nation, even at local level. Currently some 50 per cent of our economy, 90 per cent of our business red tape' and 100 per cent of our trading laws/rules are under EU control, while they also have considerable input in matters such as taxation, foreign policy and local government. By 2012, and the Lisbon Treaty (aka the EU Constitution) taking effect it will be 100 per cent for all issues.
It is why no main party dare have an EU referendum, why MPs dare not vote against their party line (they would lose their jobs and pensions) and why they refuse to uphold their manifestos. In effect they all say something different to make it appear they aren't the same, but the truth is vote for us and we will surrender Britain to the EU'. How many votes would they get if they put that in their manifesto, I wonder?
Only UKIP tell it as it is, we have little to lose by doing so.
It is not electioneering to say we are the only moderate party in British politics to tell the truth about the EU, it is a fact.
