Who exactly are the political mafia in this country?

Michael White (Guardian) goes too far in comparing UKIP to the mafia.

Who exactly are the political mafia in this country?

Certainly not UKIP.

Mr White might ponder the connection between the provocative behaviour of the left (everyone from Salma Yaqoob to Edward Macmillan-Scott, and indeed Michael Heseltine) in forcing through social change without a mandate, and the reaction that they are now going to experience.

Is it not the case that if UKIP come first in the election we have had a referendum on British membership of the EU whether the establishment likes it or not?

And indeed is it not equally the case that if UKIP come first in the election we have also had a referendum on immigration whether the establishment likes it or not?

As a life-long Conservative (and continuing Conservative member) I am not advising anyone to vote Conservative in the European elections.

Certainly you should vote.

And the idea of voting Labour or Liberal Democrat is unthinkable.

But do not vote Conservative on this occasion.
