I have received glossy leaflets through my letterbox from both of the above this week, but nothing from the 3 main parties.
Surely they are not being complacent in the current political climate are they?

QUOTE (Bill1 @ May 20 2009, 04:40 PM) I have received glossy leaflets through my letterbox from both of the above this week, but nothing from the 3 main parties.
Surely they are not being complacent in the current political climate are they? Well the reason for that is that the 3 main parties are not interested in your view on the EU. They have drank the 'Koolaid' and bought into the program. They want the federalisation of europe to go ahead and to campaign would raise too much awareness of what is at risk. If people don't vote then they get what they want. If we are concerned at the MP's expenses scandal then have a look at what is happening in the EU Commission. Corruption and fraud are rife. Marta Andreasen, as profiled in todays Newbury Today, tried to clean up their act and was sacked. I bought her book on Monday and have almost finished it. I found it truly frightening that we are walking into a situation where Westminster is reduced to nothing more than a ceremonial and procedural instrument, a glorified parish council, where ALL of our laws will be made in the EU by unelected, corrupt bureaucrats and we will never have the ability to vote them out. http://forum.newburytoday.co.uk/style_emot...default/sad.gif

Any communication from either of those "parties" goes directly into the shredder.

Thought that went without saying, especially BNP. My vote goes to the recycling box. They won't take shredded paper for recycling, so you might as well help these parties contribute to society in some way.

[quote name='Iommi' date='May 21 2009, 10:55 AM' post='274'] I'll have to go UKIP on this. The other parties are the ones that have got us here and while it isn't all bad in Europe, it certainly isn't a good example to me of democracy. a.b.rolfe may 21 12.50 It was the tories and labour who got us into the E.U and did,nt think we were intellegent enought to be able to have a opinion, hence no vote on the referendum, or am I being a tad cynical to think they may have seen another gravy train coming in to the station they at some time in the future could hop on , just like the Kinnocks. yes its got to be U.K.I.P to at least show our contempt for that.

You will be in good company, millions will vote for UKIP. The party is the only one who really believes in a free Britain and is an inclusive party. I received my Tory leaflet today and frankly it's more of the usual drivel about how they have helped Britain through the EU. They simply ignore the fact that 55% of Britain's want out of the EU. They also just compare themselves with the other two main parties and no mention of any others. A serious error of judgement by a Blair wannabee leader.

Good God. They're as bad as Labour and Tory MP's!! I'll still be voting UKIP though. UKIP watch are missing the point. There is NO other party, apart from the odious BNP, working in Britains favor. Only UKIP will have a chance to force a referendum and they still remain the only party who speak against the EU.

Wendy. Well, I don't know how others got this link to work. I got: QUOTE Forbidden Remote Host: [xx.xx.xx.xx (my IP address)] You do not have permission to access http://ukipwatch.org/What%20became%20of%20...IP%20twelve.pdfData files must be stored on the same site they are linked from. Edit: Got the same thing trying with Internet Explorer. But pasting the link straight into Firefox's address bar worked. Weird.

But it was always my understanding that spaces or other special characters are converted to their hex equivalent when the request is sent to the server. Clicking on your link doesn't work for me (notice what has happened to your URL - I put in an extra space so you can see it), either in Firefox or Internet Explorer, but pasting directly into the address bar does. This is odd, because it seems to work for other people

Most bizarre, but I'm not going to fret over it any more
