"I was delighted that Scotland voted
to stay within the UK and that not only is this constitutional issue settled
for a generation, but that the Conservative-led government enabled the Scottish
referendum to take place. Crucially, we trusted the people to decide their
future.
UKIP
are a protest party who have never run anything, will never run anything, and
who are incapable of running anything. In Crawley, they’ve been a shambles over
the last year and have now completely collapsed. Highly questionable
leadership, in-fighting, the ousting under false pretences of the previous
Chairman, many members leaving, their only Councillor resigning and now their
current Chairman resigning, has seen the total demise of UKIP in Crawley. Now
more than ever, the only viable alternative to Labour in Crawley is the
Conservatives."
There is of course one other major
constitutional issue to be settled, that being the UK’s membership of the
European Union. We had a vote on our membership of the EEC in 1975 and if the
Conservatives are returned to government next year, we will have a referendum
on our EU membership in 2017. By 2017, no one under 60 years of age will have
ever had a vote on our relationship with Europe.
Incredibly, the Conservatives are the only
major party offering the British people an In/Out referendum vote on our EU
membership. If Labour wins the general election, the British people will
continue to be denied their say. Crawley residents should ask the Crawley Labour
party why do they not trust Crawley people to have a vote on EU membership?
When it comes to the EU, there is much
media hype about UKIP and it was disappointing to see two MPs from my own party
defect to them. While Nigel Farage may be grinning about that, there will be an
even bigger grin on the face of Ed Miliband who benefits the most from UKIP
doing well. In Crawley, for anyone who has concerns about the EU and
immigration, voting UKIP enables Labour to win with the exact opposite of the
policies you wish to see being implemented.
