UKIP Uncovered
What motivates the leaders of the United Kingdom Independence Party?

The Daily Telegraph

The above newspaper often disparagingly referred to as The Daily Torygraph because of its close affinity to the Conservative Party,
alongside a picture of a somewhat cross-eyed looking IDS, reports today:-

"Iain Duncan Smith will break the Tory silence on Europe today by mapping out an alternative vision of the European Union that would give national parliaments greater powers to say no to Brussels.

The Conservatives are about to publish a major policy document detailing a series of EU reforms which will be included in the party's next manifesto."

Tories reveal vision of 'flexible EU'


Whether or not the title of the piece is intended to be tongue in cheek or not, I don't know, a flexible EU with 25 members seems as probable as Saddam Hussein being the first democratically elected President of Iraq, but nevertheless the article continues in serious vein to describe a set of proposals that clearly indicate one more defeat for the euro-sceptics still hanging on within the party. We must wait for the IDS speech and full proposals to be published before being certain, but every indication seems to show that the country is ever more desperately in need of a reformed and re-invigorated UKIP (shame our leaders seem intent on preventing this happening).

We must act now to prevent further damaging comments directed against our party, such as this below which appeared in a Daily Telegraph editorial covering our campaign against BBC Licence Fees towards the end of last year:-

"The campaign is being co-ordinated by the UK Independence Party, which might not be everyone's political cup of tea".

Now whatever could they have meant by that?
