On the other hand, if instead of protest party's we pursue something more like a proper party with a full platform is likely to alienate many anti-EU people simply because they don't like the party's other polices. Specifically the left or right leaning people will have problems if the party takes a stand to the left or right. So it is a catch-22 in some ways.
Perhaps the answer is to form powerful lobby and citizen's groups at the grass-level. Or to allow individual candidates to decide upon their other policies depending on where they are standing.
