The problem is that people may not want to be part of an EU superstate, but they see other issues as being much more improtant at the moment.
Take the Hartlepool election. The two parties fighting to win that seat were Labour and the Lib Dems. Both of those parties are rabidly pro-EU, and would happily sign us up to being a slave state as soon as they can.
Does this mean the good people of Hartlepool want to head INTO phpbb_the EU experiment? Hell no! Iraq gained the Lib Dems their slice of the votes, as they are seen as the anti-war party. The Conservatives have no hope in towns like this as they burned their bridges long ago.
I am still bemused by how many people vote Labour, after all they have done to the people. As it has been said elsewhere though, a lot of people still think they only have two choices, Lab or Con and they voted for the best option to be the Cons.
Hopefuly seeing the pathetic tories pushed INTO phpbb_last place will slowly make people realise that Labour is not the only option, but UKIP needs to come up with strategies to speed this process up. Any ideas?
