I READ with interest your report with picture of the Liberal-Democrat MPs and spokespersons meeting in Falmouth to discuss their hopes for a clean sweep in Cornwall at the next election.

I noted with even greater interest that there was no mention of the fact that the Lib-Dems are the most pro-European Union of our three main parties and would dump the pound and take us into a federal Europe at the first opportunity.

It is EU policy to split England into eight regional assemblies which would be responsible to the EU and not to our elected parliament at Westminster. Then the fair deal which the meeting said it wanted for Cornwall would be pie in the sky because a regional assembly would govern us - and Cornwall would be only a small part. Lib-Dem spokespersons including MPs rarely mention their party's support of the EU nowadays presumably because they know that there are many eurosceptics in the Westcountry - ask our fishermen and farmers what they think of the EU policies on their industries!

All three main parties are leading us into a federal Europe by deceit and stealth and without our consent. They dread the thought of asking the people through referendums on dumping the pound, the EU constitution or continued membership of the undemocratic EU which governs us by tens of thousands of directives which are imposed upon us without debate or vote in open parliament.

Only the United Kingdom Independence Party tells us the truth about the EU and every voter who believes in our independent self-government should vote for them at the next EU and general elections.
