3) However we need other policies because a) one issue parties are never successful b) the country has other problems like letting murderers out to kill again that need solving.
Of course we want other policies and I'm sorry if you and others on this forum thought that wasn't my view. I know a political party cannot be a one issue party! What I am worried about is people giving the "Impression " that we ought to water down our stance on the EU!
Do you agree with the statement :-
"very few people in the UK vote purely based on the EU" ?

The reason in my opinion that people don't consider the EU an issue in a GE is because we stand alone trying to get our message across when the three main parties aided and abetted by the National media refuse to talk about the EU! If "Joe Public " knew what we know UKIP would have a landslide victory! That is why I think we must "Hammer" the EU message home! and in my opinion the " Bill Board " campaign is a good start!
