I have been doing precisely this for over 30 years. All they have done is pocket my support, ignore my opinion and move further down the road of ever closer union.

The present incumbents have to be turfed out, and again how can that be done?<br />If there was a mass recruitment campaign by the eurosceptics to encourage like minded people to join (our own Tea Party) would not the present leadership disqualify such people on similar grounds used by Labour and their Militant Tendency? <br />The current leadership would have all the support of the state and its organisations plus the EU to defeat a grass roots take over. <br />A eurosceptic takeover can be achieved, just look at what is happening to the climate change alarmists and how they are currently on the back foot, but far from defeated. That has been achieved by the leadership, (or should it be Bloggership?) of Dr North. <br />The take over of the party needs a leader and the only person I can see is Dan Hannan with Douglas Carswell as his deputy. If these two lead the drive for recruitment based on a sceptical agenda it would be very difficult to stop.Ron Bramwellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-43968066362640312242010-02-18T18:49:35.000+00:002010-02-18T18:49:35.000+00:00"Could we now have some more or less precise ..."Could we now have some more or less precise idea of how the said party is intending to advance that agenda.
