And when you have effectively a campaign group based on a negative, it's easier to become disillusioned, which probably explains why so many EDP members drop out. And disillusionment leads to bitterness, which was evident in those anti-Scottish posters in London.
Whereas Free England is based on a positive - that English independence is a good thing to have. And when something is based on a positive it's much more enjoyable.

You have put in just a few words above some essential truths, and which I intend to use again and again. Your thesis explains why we are naturally keen that Scotland and Wales prosper as independent nations too. We are about hope, confidence and national independence.
