Default The Eurosceptic Scale

Where do you stand on the Eurosceptic Scale, something I have thought about. I have used UKIP, but it includes any other anti-EU party or movement. There's a lot of different scenarios and situations and I have had to slim it down.The scale basically goes from the lowest (Usless and Naive individual) to the highest (the Vanguard).

1) 'The Useless and Naive Individual' Privately anti-EU, but neither supports or votes for UKIP, instead votes for a pro-EU party.

2) 'The Useless and Apathetic Individual' Privately anti-EU, but does not support or vote any anti-EU party or movement.

3) 'The Bombast' Publically anti-EU, but neither supports or votes for UKIP

4) 'The Quiet Resistor' Privately anti-EU, not a member but votes for UKIP

5) 'The Resistor' Publically anti-EU, not a member of UKIP but votes for UKIP

6) 'The Organised Resistor' Member of UKIP and voter for UKIP

7) 'The Campaigner' Member of UKIP, activist and voter for UKIP

8 ) 'The Vanguard' Member of UKIP, supporter of UKIP, activist for UKIP and candidate in elections for UKIP

Not that this would be even slightly biased towards UKIP... :roll:

I should mention that I am '5'.

What number do you fall into?

In 2001 I was voting Tory in Peterborough to try and get the utterly useless and objectionable Helen Brinton out. UKIP polled 955 votes out of about 35,000.
In 2005 I was standing for Veritas so wasn't concerned about voting UKIP.
Next time around? Who knows, it depends on what the options are.
So, I'm definitely not 1 or 2. Given that the 'list' is vehemently pro-UKIP and doesn't allow for voting for any other anti-EU parties - not exactly democratic, more fascist than anything - you would be inclined to rank me as no 3.

I'm a 7, who has no wish to become an 8.

Number "3" should read: The Realist.
And that is exactly what I am and most anti-EU activists are.

I was The Resistor; but have given up on UKIP entirely.

Since when have threads, or personal opinions for that matter, had to have been 'democratic'. I'm not going to spoil the original thread by including 'other anti-EU' parties such as the BNP or the ambiguous EDP.

I made it clear that I have used UKIP, but it includes any other anti-EU party or movement. There's a lot of different scenarios and situations and I have had to slim it down. in the first post. But that whilst I have used UKIP, but it includes any other anti-EU party or movement.

And that's the veritas.
