What benefit is that? We have the same exports with countries in Europe that we did 55+ years ago.

But please tell me the others.

Well for a start we don't all go to war with each other these days, this is one of reasons why the EU was formed in the first place which often is overlooked when discussing Europe.
 
I can't believe so many voters have fallen for UKIP's 'BNP-lite' rhetoric. Repeat that at the general election at your peril...

It's not about who we trade with but how much it costs a business to trade with those countries. Freedom of movement, zero import duties, standardisation, etc. all reduce costs.

You really believe all that. What about the £55 million we put in to the EU to get these false benefits?

It's like buying a season ticket to a football team as you get benefits with that.
"Freedom of movement" people from the UK have been living in Europe for donkeys years.

Yes all 29% of 36% clearly show you are in the ascendancy.

In actuality people are not voting and that is the real view and lesson of these elections.

12% of the population voting UKIP in no way validates them or shows any indication of ascendancy.

Also lol at the irony of a bigoted party claiming others are small minded, "close the borders and hate the foreigners herp derp" clearly an open minded outlook on the world.

Low turn out is normal for UK. What's your point ? Following the trend in those that voted it's clear what people want. Or are you saying in you're words must've l just the thick racist ukip people that vote?

No it wasn't. It was called the Common Market all about trade with no one paying much to be in the club..

And as for wars, yes we rescued Europe a few times ;)

I don't think a referendum will result in that, Cameron will try to fool voters he has got a great deal, which he won't have.
Actually, I don't think there will be a referendum.

Ashdown says Clegg is the best priminister that never was and the electorate will realise that in 2015, good luck with that mate.
 
The tory and labour MPs are coming out with the same hog wash they've been saying for years.

Need an even bigger shake up at the general election.

If we get referendum we will leave EU I'm now sure of it.

I worry at this.
I truly do.
Changing things would be beneficial if we could trust our own justice system and civil service to right a bill of UK human rights that isn't as tabloid oppressive as the EU mandates that Blair swallowed.
Wonderful as border controls might be 2 million of the people in the country are from outside the EU. We had full control over these people throughout the reign of Blair and Brown. We did nothing to minimise numbers then. They problem can't be controlled, we will find we simply can't 'send them home'.

We can already limit numbers, and apparently we do. Most of the influx currently comes through indefinite leave to remain turning into citizenship through marriage to a worker, or to a citizen already living here, be it a 'local' or an non-EU chappie who has already gained his own citizenship. Can't see how this can be managed or limited or reduced, and allows for the non-lingual types who don't wish to integrate and wish to live in their own communities to continue to do so, and expand their little/large elements within our towns.

How would any of you UKIP voters stop this?
As UKIP themselves have yet to suggest a way.
 
I don't think Tory , labour or lib dems are capable of changing tbh .

They're all just talking heads, no heart.
 
From my companies point of view, us leaving the EU will likely cause a huge increase in work. Things will clearly not be as easy as they are now. It's bad enough not being a part of the single currency but that's another point.

Either way, as long as UKIP don't do well on the general election I'm not too bothered. If Tories want to ensure victory they should just put Boris at the helm.

Are you trying to be ironic with your last statement? :p

I'm saying there is no trend established and around 10% of the population does not validate right wing, scaremongering politics.

It's not normal in the UK to have such low levels of turnout, what was it? 33%..virtually half the turnout of the General Election. All this means is that most people don't care enough about Europe one way or another to vote. It doesn't mean UKIP will suddenly become the major force in British politics or that their success in European Elections will translate into success in a General Election.

Our net spend on Europe is only 0.87% of our annual public spend. Peanuts compared something like the Trident replacement. The £55 million a day number is false as it doesn't take into account our rebate or money we receive back from the EU.

I'm traditionally a Tory supporter, but even then i'll give you that. The referendum question will set in order to confuse the voter as much as possible

That's great but maybe you should read up on what third world actually means. Eastern bloc countries were second world countries, not third.

Err, perhaps the definition of what Third World means in any specific context should be given...Eastern bloc countries were not Third World simply because they were aligned with Soviet Russia, pretty much any country not aligned with either NATO or the USSR was determined as Third World...including some very rich ones.

We paid very little when it was the common market. You're paying for no benefits, as is already known we did the same trading with
Europe now as we did 55+ years ago. I would love to see £55 million a week spent of building new homes.

Most of our laws are made up by people not even voted in by us.
