Re: Which party has the best policy on Europe?
I refuse to vote BNP out of principle and I will admit to not actually knowing much about the Green Party. Of the remaining four options, the big three are all in various stages of "do whatever Europe wants us to regardless of its value to the people of our country", so I find myself having to vote UKIP simply because they are the only party on the list who are not completely pathetic about the issue. I wouldn't like to be completely out of Europe, but I certainly enjoy the idea of standing up to them once in a while.

Re: Which party has the best policy on Europe?Well I'm not a supporter of European integration so I suppose UKIP on that front BUT I haven't got a clue about any of their other policies on anything else. I think of them as Conservatives with a harder line on Europe but I might be wrong.(Original post by ukip72)
Which party do you think has the best policy on European integration? -
Re: Which party has the best policy on Europe?
The only problem with the current stance is that we're getting roped into donating to the Eurozone emergency fund when it's not our problem. So far, Cameron has given Germany and France the middle finger on that front which is good. We can't leave the EU like what UKIP want though, we have too much free trade with them and a loss of that would hamper the economy I fear.
In an ideal world we are staying out of all problems Euro but not pissing them off such that we can't trade with them anymore.
Therefore for me it is a tie between Con and UKIP. -

It's not a matter of 'best', it's a matter of what an individual supports.
As a Conservative supporter, I'm often not too pleased with their policies on Europe. They've done nothing bad in government, but some of the supposedly anti-federalist rhetoric too often crosses into narrow nationalism. -

Just out of interest, what is your personal view on joining the Euro?
In line with my view on Europe it would have to be UKIP. -
Re: Which party has the best policy on Europe?
As a Labour supporter it would have to be the Lib Dems, I fully support joining the Euro.
Suprisingly, it's actually in line with UKIP's, I am quite eurosceptic and would love to see Britain regain some sovereignty instead of being told what to do by European unelected Bureaucrats. -

Re: Which party has the best policy on Europe?Greens for certain - pretty much for the reasons SciFiBoy posted.
An United Europe would be a good thing, but the current EU is poorly organised. It needs reforming, not for us to withdraw from it.
