The past thirty years have been littered with Tory lies ,and yes one or two Europhile creeps might try to sign up in the hope of political survival but it is known ,for the most part who are genuine Eurorealists and the list is carefully monitored.Cameron has threatened his Shadow team and Whips with the sack and promises no promotion for those on the back benches who sign up, so those that have are out on a limb from the main party.I am totally at ease with those who have signed up with statements published and those who launched it but have yet to have their statement published on the website,such as Bob Spink who spoke at the press launch.It is sad that there are those that truly agree that we should leave the EU but who put a 'worthless' shadow post and fear of deselection above what is right.
The reality is that we are currently looking at only 10 Tory and one Labour MP.The publicity and eurosceptic public goodwill that this will bring may be priceless as will the prospect of additional serious funding.We have to be streetwise .We must be sure that we hate the EU more than the Tories and act to leave it,but we need 50% + 1 of sitting MPs in the House of Delivery---let's go for it.
