Disillusioned ex-Conservative
Greetings one and all.....
I'm proud to say I voted for UKIP at the recent Euro elections and at the previous election which propelled both Jeffrey Titford and Nigel Farage INTO phpbb_parliament, and put UKIP firmly on the map.
Since the Tories got booted out in 1997 they have spent time trying to woo voters unsuccessfully with policies which show their new "inclusivity".
They have forgotten there are large numbers of electors out there who have core principles and beliefs, myself included, not just on Europe but on high taxation, pensions, council tax being wasted, compensation culture, corruption, 'minorities' of all descriptions, asylum etc., but seem to prefer listening to their "focus groups" when formulating policy. Mr. Howard's weasel words on Europe in his party conference speech confirmed my suspicions all along that I'm being ignored.
To that end I feel the Conservative party has left me, not the other way round. Why should I change my views to fit in with current thinking just to prove I'm trendy?? I pride myself on being a fully paid-up member of the awkward squad.
A couple of weeks back I was working in Chelmsford and went along to UKIPs regional office and joined up - twenty quid well spent!!
So now you know why I'm here, feel free to reply or send a PM.
Keep the faith.
Ned
