The point of elections has always been "to turn out the old rogues and put in the new" and yours was not an insignificant part.<br /><br />I stood for UKIP in the 1999 EU elections and that Europlastic specimen, Chris Heaton Harris, took me aside and berated me for standing because "it could cost us seats". I said that was the idea but, if he would endorse leaving the EU as an aim of his campaign I would withdraw and work for him. He didn't take up the offer but is now involved, I think, in the fraudulent "Fresh Start" group - people who want a Eurosceptic reputation whilst desperately hoping for a phone call from Mr. Cameron. <br />Edward Spaltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168350315689612490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-35959157093989929212013-05-04T16:53:13.194+01:002013-05-04T16:53:13.194+01:00Thank you JiCThank you JiCTheBoilingFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791961503315586243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-59773845686860574882013-05-04T16:04:38.327+01:002013-05-04T16:04:38.327+01:00Congratulations, TBF.

I believe some demands will eventually be adopted - particularly; a referendum on budgets and an elected PM.<br /><br />I'm not entirely convinced they all will. Chartism is a classic example, it took many many years and even then not all were properly adopted. <br /><br />What is clear though is there is a massive void and it's one that needs filling and Harrogate is part of that.TheBoilingFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791961503315586243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-39410197589863195022013-05-04T14:29:52.665+01:002013-05-04T14:29:52.665+01:00No they don't...great ain't it?No they don't...great ain't it?TheBoilingFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791961503315586243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-87889371143655326502013-05-04T13:29:10.197+01:002013-05-04T13:29:10.197+01:00p.s.

The Harrogate Agenda is much too sophisticated and esoteric to catch on in today's world. What else is there - emigration is no use as the rest of the world (at least those parts that would welcome me) are at least as bad?!<br /><br />My consolation is that in 1,000 years it will just be ancient history. My amusement is in watching those who consider Farage of trifling importance (probably true, of course) spending vast amounts of time and pixels telling anyone who will read how irrelevant the man is and how little worth our attention (and, no, I don't count AM in the group of persistent cavillers)!Ian Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-12803788928716787132013-05-04T12:47:14.629+01:002013-05-04T12:47:14.629+01:00Well done..they don't seem to like it up em !Well done..they don't seem to like it up em !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987287543554842489noreply@blogger.com
