Smear tactics

First, I’d like to thank you for your most interesting and informative article on the imminent elections to the EU Parliament (Gazette, May 8).

I was surprised at the large number of candidates, and the variety of interests and goals as expressed in their statements.

Personally, I remain committed to supporting UKIP, as its campaign advertisements are based on facts quoted from authentic sources, thus allowing the electorate to make well-founded decisions.

I received the Conservative party pamphlet through the post, and Mr Cameron admits that membership of the EU means total adherence to its dictated policies – and by this I presume it includes the heinous human rights convention so beloved of the legal brotherhood, but which is detrimental to the sovereignty of this realm, the supremacy of Parliament, the security of the state, the comfort of the hard-pressed taxpayer, and the reduction of the incredible financial deficit.

It is also gratuitously remarked that UKIP is unable to fulfil its pledges – without any supporting facts.

It seems that the opposition to the UKIP has become so imperilled that it has resorted to trying to smear the character of the party’s leader, Nigel Farage.

My only regret is that there are too many candidates of minor ambitions who might attract enough attention so as to adversely affect the most beneficial outcome.
