Nigel's other policies would see to finishing it off if he ever did find himself in a position of power.
Not that it will happen, our education system isn't bad enough to result in a UKIP majority government.

Based on the poll, this forum demographic is the classic middle aged conservative.

Another quote from Farage's Little Purple Book. Very classy...

I was more exclaiming at the huge strain you must be under typing away here at such an age were that the case however I apologise for speculating

If we had a free-trade agreement with the EU, why would our economy be devastated?
Soldato
We'd certainly take a hit, with entities as big as HSBC already making continuity plans to move to the continent in the event of an "out" vote.

I'm sure they will blame it if they lose, despite them likely losing by significantly more than the 0.1% of ballots impacted.
Besides, to fix this all you need to do is apply the overall result (40% Con, 40% Lab, 10% UKIP 10% LIB-DEM for example) to the 89 papers impacted.

If?
I'm not leaving the future of generations down to an if. This was my main arguments against Scottish independence.
We can't have the benefits of the EU without the obligations. Why would the member states agree to that?
Soldato
Actually their reason for leaving is that Hong Kong has laxer banking regulation than in the current UK climate... true short term HK is more appealing however once China regains full control of the region then they'll probably want move HQ again.
Why, would all the business who trade with other suddenly stop buying and selling things?
Rofl, when have libdems ever been in power.
When has ukip ever had a good manifesto, it's awful.
Pretty disturbing in a 'modern democracy', hopefully this is a one off.

The UK is a consumer society, one of, if not the biggest export markets for the EU.
If they imposed protectionist barriers they would be hit badly.
Britain has endured for centuries outside of political union with the continent, to suggest it is incapable of doing so now, makes no sense at all.

When prices jump because of taxes, yes. Other nations companies that are borderline price wise are suddenly significantly cheaper.
That also makes no sense. The world isn't what it used to be, such companies which export to the EU, can easily up and move to EU. Making it even more reason for EU not to placate us.
We've already had plenty of EU buy outs of high tech UK companies which have then shut down uk production and moved it abroad. Partly due to the £ being so strong.

Amazing shows how many people who use OCUK have no sense of the reality of most peoples everyday lives.
Whatever happens the only thing I am confident of is that we will no longer have conservatives in government; thank god for that
