Roger Knapman, leader of the UK Indpendence Party, is the real genius of the piece. A former Conservative minister, by getting everyone from Joan Collins to Dick Morris to help...he's proven his skill. Hats off to him.

FWEIW, I'd STILL feel better if Morris was working for Blair.

If you've got a little time on your hands after withdrawing from the EU, would you be kind enough to re-assert dominion over Canada?

No one ever said Dickie wasn't a good campaign operative.. it is just his predictions which stink.

To an extent, I'm reminded of dead's parody "Rainforest Man" and therein, the description provided by Al Gore of Dick Morris:

GORE: Toe-sucking weirdo... sucks toes.... pays money to suck toes... weirdo...

Maybe there will always be an England, if this EU nonsense gets the scrutiny it deserves....

There's some logical flaw in your statement, .. I knoiw there is...wouldn't you, as an operative, base your actions upon your strategy, which is a fucntion of your predictions?..

No need. Canada is apparently poised to fall to the Conservatives in the near future. Although perhaps Prime Minister Knapman or Kilroy-Silk will oblige in sending a few Tornados to take out the HQ of the Liberal Party.

Sorry, was just having an "if only" moment.

May there always be an England (and a United Kingdom, too).

Here, here!!!! Ivan, the tragedy of Tony Blair is that he gets much of what Morris writes about, but still wants to lead his nation into the abyss of the EU. From where I sit here in Los Angeles, the EU seems to be a dressed up, pseudo-democratic version of the old Soviet Union. It seems to be trying to achieve by cunning what was not achieved by war.

Yes - but as a TV and newspaper pundit, your demand is based on how entertaining you are. Constantly making brash predictions will keep you in demand. Only politically aware people like us will remember his multiple blown predictions. Most people have very short memory spans when it comes to politics.

Given that the UKIP got something less than a fifth of the UK's eu assembly seats, what are the practical implications of this? What would it really take to at the very least slow or halt EU legal encroachment, constitution ratifications, etc.

I assume the tories are 'pr-eu, but with alterations' (translated as Pro-EU, period.)...am I wrong about this?

It really depends on what Conservative you get. I think it is fair to say that the majority of Conservatives are anti-EU. But the pro-EU faction has a good deal of power within the party.

Hurrah to Roger Knapman! One question: why and how was UKIP banned from TV and radio advertising?

I honestly don't know. I have even seen the BNP put up advertisements, so I can't suggest it has to do with ideology. Perhaps it has to do with the danger they pose to the established order? :)

Is it true that the UKIP actually WAS banned from radio/TV? Were other parties able to run ads on the EU election topic?

sorry for skepticism, but this is a Morris article.
