Far from giving voters real choice, it seems more likely to deceive them! Bit like them Brit parties, only they do it via their respective election manifestos!

Well one reason for doing so might be that none of them have a cat in hells chance of winning seats at the next General Election, the anti EU voice needs to be heard clearly in the next Parlaiment which despite the good results for Cameron and the Conservatives this past week still in my view has a good chance of being an unstable on with no party with a majority.

If people have a shared goal of getting us out of the EU, and can agree a sensible and workable policy for economics and the public services then it could be worth a go.

The problem with the anti EU movement is it is fragmented and full of people with puffed up egos, the Pro EU movement is more united with consensus across the 3 main partys.
