You say:

"Gerard Batten (UKIP) - senior member of UKIP and an MEP for London. UKIP fails to realise the relationship between the City, the rest of London and European financial institutions. A withdrawal from the EU would damage the City and London whatever other benefits it may bring. Not the right candidate at all."

This is patently untrue. Our withdrawal from the EU would not damage our international centre of finance. It currently thrives IN SPITE OF the EU. It should be noted also that the EU wish to "harmonise" aspects of the international finance industry as part of its plan to make the Euro the reserve currency of choice. Hmmm. Look at what has happened to our once-vibrant fishing industry. And can you really entrust the future of the City to an organisation that cannot get something as basic as its accounts signed off by auditors for well over ten years?

Perhaps a clear break from the EU could signal a welcome departure from the clutches of an organisation that finds financial responsibility an optional concept to embrace.
