UKpopdems have done a fair bt of research on this for our policies.
The facts are these
1. The majority of Britons don't want a Federal, United, single-state Europe
2. The majority of Britons do not want to leave the EU
Our interpretation is that most Britons want to stay in an EU of their own choosing, probably what they thought they originally joined - a friendly, participative Commonwealth of trading nations learning from each other.
The trouble with the anti-EU megawatt brigade is that they see nothing else but GETTING OUT. If they really want that then they'd better have a REALLY good alternative ready to convince most middle-way Brits. Right now, they don't have it.
We are proposing a two stage public vote.
Do you want in or out?
If the result is to stay in, then another vote:
Do you want a United States of Europe?
That would be a far more productive route for UKIP and their ilk to take.
