The election of ANY anti-EU candidate, no matter which party they belong to, should be applauded and trivialised, and the ED's unfortunately made an impact that only benefitted our opponents to federalism, that is NOT a good thing.

For me, it matters not one jot which party takes us of our Europe, as long as they get the job done, and that is not too unlike the opinions of Farage some time ago, though he was referring no doubt to his wealthy friends in the boring Tory camp.
