Whilst I believe a lot of people will put a lot of thought into this, I also think a lot of people will be influenced by single issues and not look at the broader picture and single issue voters are not representative of the general population.

Only one party promised an in/out referendum on Europe during the election and that party was not UKIP. As far as I can see the Tories reacted to the public feeling... which is increasingly anti-Europe. And I understand why. It's a big, costly, toothless, white elephant and we would be better without it.
