If we look at the main parties, in the main to keep his aprty happier, Cameron has embarked on some of the most rotten imaginable policies possible,Labour too in govt; have done the same to keep certain sections of their party happy too.
Nigel Farage may mean well but he has difficulty with a handful of European MPs and from what I ahve ehard and seen revealed as to the thinking of candidates for UKIP, I am filled with suspicions as to what this one man Farage could do against a whole set of MPs with views like we have heard over the last few years.
Of course for me, I don't want to leave the EU and also am not in the slightest bothered about a referendum as to same.
However, Nigel Farage makes a great play on free speech and democracy,yet he does not want 16 and 17 year olds to have a vote in any referendum.
Why not, probably because in the main the younger in UK society appear to lean more to being part of Europe not out of it.
Also he indicates,those here from other countries, who are working here, registered to vote too but not of British origin should also not have a vote in a referendum.
That starts to sound like strong discrimination actually and borders on dicatatorship too.
So a definite no thank you from me, to Nigel Farage and UKIP,I still believe as a great many probably do,that they have an unpleasant hidden agenda behind their smiles.
The SNP have also never once said they will want another referendum for support at westminster but for me, why should they not have it,they were conned by the 3 party eladers when it looked like Cameron was going to preside over the first break up of the UK.
Now the Scots have voted to stay, we get some of the little englanders screaming they should have no say as to power in westminster.
What utter hypocrisy, we wanted them to stay in the UK but now expect them to do nothing and keep quiet.
Says a lot for the UK and its idea of democracy that does.

True, it shocks me the way that the Scots are referred by the tories, and how Ed Miliband is constantly accused of dancing to the SNP tune... We are together and Scotland is part of the UK so why the suspicion?
Farage is so against being partnered with the EU due to the rules and the provisos, but what is the cost of taking a seat in the WTO? Is that proviso free, we have never had an explanation on what our future out of the EU would entail.
