Of course when the EU are supreme in all things then this might no longer be true. This is a classic "When did you stop beating your wife?" Even asking the question this way presumes guilt and this is one of the reasons people are turning off politics because many of today's politricians are not the sort of person you would want as a friend nor would you want them as a visitor to your home. Unfortunately the nasty, seedier and grubbier the average politician becomes then the less ordinary decent people want to participate in politics so the scum bags who want control and power get an easier and easier ride. In my opinion Farage is one of the few genuine people in politics today and this is a key reason for these attacks, the real politicians don't want him playing intheir game.

I think most people here wished what you say is true - but he does seem to have 'previous'. Apart from the Phoenix wish for a special audit of the books, just recently we find there was an agreement that MEPs would not employ their spouses so that UKIP would be 'different' to the other parties by demonstrating far greater probity.
