The Local election headlines tell the story of a Conservative surge, a hammering for Labour and a I do not know how such an important subject, one that directly affects every other area of government power and authority can be considered to be nothing more than a minority interest, gentle slide for the LibDems, although many results are still to be declared, it is apparent that the Labour did particularly badly yesterday which can be and probably will be interpreted as an indication that the Conservatives are on track to win the general election.

I do not know what the final figures in the country will be but if Boris wins in London that will overshadow all other news and the Conservatives will be feeling pretty pleased with themselves.

We all know this is not good news for Labour but neither is it be good news for us Eusceptics because it strengthens the impression that the Conservative party is on the right tracks to win power. That might well be the case, but it will also strengthen the position of those who want to play down the effects of the EU on our country and once again keep it off the agenda during the Westminster elections.

This of course will allow yet another administration a totally free hand when it comes to dealings with the EU. The Conservatives will use these results to resist any call for them to put some bones on their vague EUsceptical statements and convince them that they do not need to offer anything solid by way of policy promises to the EUsceptics.

Then once in power having made no strong commitments they will be free to be blown along with the general direction of the ongoing EU integration. The vague suggestion that Conservatives must do something about the Lisbon Treaty will be meaningless unless they are forced to declare a solid commitment to repeal it or hold a referendum, and that will not happen when they think they are going to win in any case. The continual drift towards integration is only achieved by the will of the party’s not to take a principled stand on anything to do with the EU, everything is on the table for negotiation and eventual interference from the EU.

I do not know how such an important subject, one that directly affects every other area of government power and authority can be considered to be nothing more than a minority interest, only perused by a few out of touch diehards, but there it is, that is the impression of the EU debate and one which is fostered by the party’s themselves.

Meanwhile on the ground whilst the Labour Party is loosing support so badly, all the Conservatives believe they will need to do is to hold a steady course and they look like they are on the way to power. But the real question what they would do with that power or why they want power in the first place is never addressed and all the time we the people are disenfranchised by ever more power being transferred to the Union.

The other interesting news is the BNP on last count had won over ten seats which from a starting position of only one seat is an impressive score, one which I am sure will embolden them, as they believe they are on their way to becoming a main stream party. But this increase is perhaps an indication that the voters are beginning to rebel against the cosy agreements between the major party’s to keep most of the important issues away from public debate. The BNP being free from the fetters of the EU can and will be proposing policies that are based on their vision for this country rather than one dictated by the European Union, the BNP is free to debate all those areas that the main parties want to keep off the agenda because they know that once they do get elected they can do nothing about them as these are competences of the Union and beyond their control.
