[I should make clear that when I last posted on this forum I was a member of UKIP and on the committee for the Twickenham UKIP CA. I am now a member of the EDP and am on their committee for the London area. I obviously like committees...]

I welcome NF's promise that UKIP should not stand against those of us who are passionately keen to see our nation (England) out of the EU. I am as anti-EU as anyone I have met and signed up to BOO as soon as I heard about it. My anti-EU feelings seem to be shared by every EDP member that I have met, although we do call for a referendum to get public support to take England out.

With the Scots probably going much further down the route of independence after the Scottish elections in May 2007, the UK is going to be changed forever. I would like to see UKIP recognising that it is well time that England got back her own Parliament and that we stopped trying to put the pre-devolution UK back together again. The Scots do not want to lose their Parliament and why should they? The Union needs to be one of equals - at present it is so pro-Scottish and makes very unfair demands on England.

In summary I would hate to see division between those of my fellow citizens who also see through the undemocratic nature of the EU. So it is right that we fight together for an English Parliament ruling a nation that has regained its independence from the EU.
