And on what does Ms Swann base that opinion? Election results? Government policies? Don't tell me: opinion in the EU is going our way. It must be that.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799545178433498944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-41006052172951609962012-05-03T12:44:30.137+01:002012-05-03T12:44:30.137+01:00I think that you'll find it will be somewhere ...I think that you'll find it will be somewhere in between for UKIP as you expect, Helen. Personally I'm mostly happy with policies, but strategy and tactics leave much to be desired, to say the least. There are still far too many people in the Party who are completely obsessed with pushing the EU angle at the expense of all else - I have reached the point where I want to gather togather and roundly thump local branches that issue leaflets which actually contain the immortal words 'UKIP has a full range of policies' as a bullet point, instead of actually attempting to list them instead of making fifteen points about how bad the EU is. As Alexandra Swann said in her maiden speech, it's time to stop talking about the EU now. That argument's won, any votes to be gained from those who view it as the absolute overriding priority to the exclusion of all else are already UKIP's by this point, so it's counterproductive in the extreme to continually harp on about it. And as the Boss has pointed out on many occasions, people want to know what UKIP will do *next*.<br /><br />Carl WilliamsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-52416055842887594442012-05-03T12:10:22.976+01:002012-05-03T12:10:22.976+01:00A very balanced and reasonable analysis, as we hav...A very balanced and reasonable analysis, as we have come to expect from you.
