How will Free England candidates fare versus the EDs?
The proper question is ... how will the election results of the very new and much smaller pro-Independence Free England Party compare with the older and larger English Democrats Party (who while also in favour of an English Parliament, call for this within a reformed Union)?
I am looking to find answers to the following questions (although keep in mind that opinion polls are not always representative, and the population of only three candidates for FEP is very small) and we may have to read between the lines even then to get any answers:
1. How does the English Independence argument sound to the public at large compared to the ED's less radical and more wordy/complex policy platform?
2. How beneficial was it to the EDs candidates being part of a much longer established and larger party?
3. What sort of constituencies preferred either of our parties?
Does anyone else wish to say what issues are of interest to them ... before the results?
Finally, may I wish all the best of English luck to all English nationalist candidates (and where thay are not standing against us ...) to all UKIP candidates.
Regards
Andrew
