West Swindon Conservatives

Founder Of UKIP Urges People To Vote Conservative

Daily Telegraph Letters

The UKIP today, I fear, is entirely unworthy of support, even as a protest party. It has had four MEPs who have achieved little or nothing in the past five years: one even called for increased powers for the European Parliament vis-à-vis the European Commission; another made an almost incomprehensible maiden speech in Devonian dialect.

Their often intellectually low-calibre candidates can achieve nothing at all in the future, for the simple reason that the European Parliament has no powers to grant or further United Kingdom independence.

Despite the democratically expressed desires of the east European and Baltic peoples in referendums to join the EU, UKIP MEPs still voted against enlargement, a right all these people had under the Treaty of Rome, once terms had been mutually agreed with the European Commission.

Given that there is little reason to occupy seats and then vote No to everything, one could easily conclude that UKIP candidates are in effect standing for the money - salaries, pensions and expenses.

There is no rational reason for them to be there. Only Westminster can take us out of the EU and the only party in a position to orchestrate that is the Conservative Party and I for one shall be voting for it.
