It is a juggernaut that you can't stop - the only choice is to stay on or jump off and I elect for the latter as do the majority of people I know. The apathy in politics is born of the fact that whichever way one votes the government wins - that goes for the British Parliament as well as the EU. A month ago I attempted to start a campaign of spoiling ballot papers on Thursday's election on the basis that to vote seriously for any candidate (even UKIP) is to legitimise the EU by default. This is not a wasted vote - it is political activism. I'm glad to see that at least one prominent journalist is now promoting this tactic too as of yesterday - well done Richard Littlejohn. I say again - I believe that the EU is illigitimate because the British people have not had the right to vote on it. You know my opinion on the EU.
