WE know in our heads we need to quit membership of the European Union.  We know in our hearts the Commonwealth provides a superior alternative.

The EU is a left-wing dictatorship whose member states  are treated with contempt by the Commission Those members are not our partners, they are rivals, they are all foreign to each other, they are all huddled together in Little Europe, and we do not need to import anything from any of them.

And there's only 28 of them.

The food and raw materials not available in Britain are not available  in Europe either, but they are available from one country or another whom we once referred to as Dominions. And there's 54 of us.

We are often told we need to trade throughout the world. So do just that.

The Commonwealth is a ready-made organisation on which the sun never sets because it encompasses the globe.

We no longer need the British Empire, but we should be following our path to our destiny – our history has already taught us the way.

There are millions of people residing in the countries of the Commonwealth who look upon Britain as their homeland.

We share the same ancestral heritage, we have the same ethnic background, we have the same hopes and aspirations, we speak the same language, and we have the same sovereign.

By providing our own trade and defence arrangements to our mutual advantage and by working together in many other fields we would have the capability, to our everlasting prosperity, to transform the Commonwealth into the greatest stabilizing factor in international affairs since the days of the Roman Empire.

The message to Conservative, Labour, Liberal, rings out loud and clear: Only UKIP knows the way. And why? Because UKIP is not left, nor right, nor centre, but above, looking down on the others from a position of putting Britain first, and by putting a final full-stop, once and for all, to European interference in British affairs.

At the next election, vote out with the old, vote in with the new – vote UKIP.
