The fact is that UKIP remains the leading force against the EU and is easily the most successful (you find me another anti-EU party that has representation at Westminster and European level). Frankly, all these ideas of an 'anti-EU' alliance that you and others have are nothing more than a pipe dream.
Yes you are right. However I am stuck in no man's land. I have not renewed with UKIP because I am convinced, as I am convinced of anything, that UKIP leadership are not that committed to changing Britain's relationship with the EU - in fact the most reasonable explanation, to me, of their actions is that they have mostly/all become career politicians [like the rest] recognising that there is a good life to be had moaning about the EU, but not taking the necessary actions which give the best chance of change.

Don't worry, I may be dogged, but I am not a complete idiot - I will give up eventually. Unfortunately, for me, I see Britain's submergence into an undemocratic United States of Europe as a real disaster - more for my children than for me - so it might be a while before I let the matter go.

I am open to any other viable suggestions.
