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.

I'd have to go far to hear another such self justifying, concoction and distortion of the English - yes! the ENGLISH - language! To assert the proposition that the desire for a separate English Parliament is somehow 'negative' is truly absurd!
If the FEP can't find better grounds for its existence that that, it should fold up immediately!
I can only conclude that, in the wake of the recent elections, you've seen over the abyss and become depressed about the FEP's prospects!
If you've nothing better to say than this, I suggest that you go and lie down in a darkened room until your composure is restored.
