Once outside the EU all sorts of options open up for the UK to protect and defend her interests.

We are presently bound by the rules the EU which are often designed to stifle British industry and business in order to make it difficult for UK companies to compete in continental european markets.

Brit, I am already 100% convinced that we'd be better off outside the EU.

Yes, it's crucial we get out.

Question is how we do convince enough people of our country that have been brainwashed by EU propaganda for so long that we really need to get out of the EU now.

In answer to your question (above) Steve, I would say that, as a first step, voters need to hear from UKIP more often. This is easier said than done, of course, because it costs money to print leaflets and volunteers are needed in each constituency to deliver to 17, 000 - 20, 000 addresses in each parliamentary seat.

There are parts of London, for instance, which have had no UKIP leaflet since the last General Election. As you know, parties can get leaflets delivered to voters in General and EU Election campaigns but not in local polls (when the parties have to organise leaflet delivery themselves).

It would help if there could be some sort of co-operation or closer unity between different eurosceptic and anti-EU groups and organisations (of which there are at least 60 in the UK) so that, to some extent, campaigning efforts could be merged and teams of leaflet deliverers be formed - if possible - in each and every ward in the land.

What we really need is the support of a large party such as the Conservative Party which has campaigning teams and canvassers in most constituencies - but, of course, the leadership of the Conservative Party is presently pro-EU despite the membership (of the Conservative Party) being mostly pro-sovereignty, eurosceptic and a very large minority anti-EU.

The important thing for UKIP at this time is to try to keep in touch with voters not just at elections - but between elections. The more electors hear about the EU (i.e. the truth about how much it costs them and the trouble it causes for this country) the more likely they are to vote for anti-EU candidates.
