It's the UK independence Party. It was formed originally to get the UK out of the EU but now has become less hardline on that but certainly wants the UK to dramatically re-assess our roll there and our contributions to the EU.

If I were to suggest the UK and Germany were the stronger members of the EU, would it be reasonable to say the EU needs you guys to "hold them up" in their fiscal foolishness?

In a perfect world Danilo, yes, I'd concur but it's more than just an economic problem. There's too many things to start going on about at this time of night! Let's just say there's an erosion of nationalities going on. I'm dead against racism but I want to stay English!

I'm voting UKIP too. I wonder what the USA would do if they were told by another country that they cannot send a terrorist to his country of birth?

I totally agree with the cultural errosion on the increase, but it's not due to EU membership, it's due to the incredibly fast-growing communication technology, and evolving predominantly along the English language. From your perspective, a non-issue... :wink:

Now then, settle down! This started out as a light-hearted answer to a jokey quip. Let's not start getting all political, I'm sure the States has problems with people demanding their "human rights".
There's already an on-going thread concerning this sort of thing
