I find the whole thing really scary ââ'¬â€œ the sheer number of people who voted for either UKIP or the BNP beyond belief. Despite Kilroy-Silk being very publicly dismissed from the BBC for racism people vote for him - WTF?

The main problem IMHO is that neither the government or the media has offered much (if any) in the way of explanation of the draft European Constitution to the electorate as a whole. If people actually realised what it was; that it doesn't effect tax / health / defence etc and effectively just gives them a few more rights, plus puts a few mechanisms in place to improve international trading things may be different.

As ever where there is mass ignorance of facts racist scaremongers can grab hold of the less intelligent and manipulate them. It will be very interesting to see how Blair / Brown etc tackle this one ââ'¬â€œ education, education, education is the way to go IMHOââ'¬Â¦ this will take way more than the odd 3 minute electoral broadcast to get across to those who can't be bothered to read the thing.

Tony.   

Who is prepared to bet that the racist opportunist Kilroy-Silk hasn't even read the draft constitution! UK Ignorance Party.
