What are we MEPs good for? Only sticking together, it seems

So because we're in a FPTP system, we should just give up / sell out to the Conservative Party? The UK needs out of the EU, and UKIP are the only party with that in their manifesto and on their agenda.

I for one have wasted too many years trusting that the Tories were Eurosceptic, and would withdraw, but as you admit yourself, EP Employee, it is too broad a church to do that. After all, you have Jonathan Evans as the leader of the MEPs, Clarke in the party....all that will happen is that some noises will be made in both directions with the hope of appealing to everyone, and consequently, you will appeal to no-one.

The Conservative Party are not to be trusted when it comes to Europe: Labour will get us in there, and the Lib Dems will get us in there quicker than you can say 'federalist'. There is only one solution for voters who want the UK to be run from Westminster, and that is to vote UKIP.
