IN ANY business it can be safely said that once the administration is sorted, the business will look after itself.
The business of our nation is its politics. So once the administration of our nation, ie its politics, is sorted, then it will be able to look after itself. But, at the moment, Britain is being dictated to by the undemocratically unelecteds in Brussels.
Hence, everyday decisions like bin collections, post office closures and the enforced, insidious fragmentation of our coveted Royal Mail system are not made at the Westminster Parliament but at the behest of the EU.
The intentions of the main parties are not to hold that elusive referendum on the Lisbon Treaty (some now regarding that as a fascist document), or any other major issue both national and local.
There is nonsense spoken about a weak pound, with people claiming the Euro has to be our saviour.
So it all ties in – let election day on June 4 be the day of the referendum you were never allowed to have.
Indicate your direction whether to embrace, reform or reject the EU. Now there’s democracy for you.
