I pointed out earlier that we should not rule out Gordon Brown agreeing to a referendum on the EU 'Amending' Treaty. It looks unlikely at this point - but is not impossible. He must have been told of the Sun newspaper poll a couple of weeks ago which said that he would have a 17% lead over the Conservatives if he agreed to a referendum. If Gordon Brown wants an Autumn General Election and to come out of with a huge majority there is only one he will get that big win - by agreeing to us having a say on the EU 'Treaty' (EU Constitution).

If he fails to give us the referendum that we all want - then UKIP must target all key Labour marginal constituencies (both Labour-held marginals and Labour target marginals) - except for those where the sitting MP is a member of Better off Out.

The tactic would (at least) be to try to deprive Brown's Lie-bour Party of its overall majority and to get a pro-referendum majority in the House of Commons.

This is my view and that of my UKIP friend.

And yet you claim we are living in a "fantasy world".

Do you have a problem with UKIP targeting Labour marginals in order to bring about a pro-referendum majority in the Commons, Millennium3?
