    This is what frightens me. Little England is up in arms against evil EU, but responsible politicians should offer a vision of the consequences would be. It's not just UKIP that have failed to so, no major parties is offering a clear alternative.
    well apart from UKIP non of the parties actually want to leave.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      They are not likely to do so. They would still trade, but with added VAT and restrictions. They would trade with other member states first, with China second, the US third, and so on.

      SNP lost a referendum because they were not good at projecting the consequences of an exit and banked on nationalism. Kippers are overestimating their influence. They will do well as a political party as long as they remain underdogs, but I doubt they have the skills to convince the non-angry, non-nationalistic electorate.
      <Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!
