But, that's what a lot of Tory back benchers want, that's why 2 of their ilk have defected.
You must agree with quite a number of their policies if you are willing to support them in Government in return for a in/out referendum.
There are defectors because the Conservative party is not doing what it is saying.... It's a matter of self respect as much as it is attempting to help the UK.
How could any self respecting person stay in a party that just lies thier head off all day long and treat the people as though they were idiots!
There are defectors from other parties too you know!?!
Korg.
Defections to UKIP On 12 October 2011, Roger Helmer announced that he would resign from the European Parliament at the end of the year, citing "increasing disillusion with the attitudes of the Conservative Party" as the main reason, although admitting that his "twelve-and-a-half years banging my head against the same brick wall in Brussels is perhaps long enough".[156] It was announced on 2 March 2012 that he had defected from the Conservatives to the United Kingdom Independence Party.[157] On 28 August 2014, Conservative MP for Clacton Douglas Carswell resigned in his defection to UKIP and leading to a by-election in his Clacton constituency, he stood for and won as UKIP, leading to the first UKIP Member of Parliament. Just a month after the defection of Carswell, a second Conservative MP - the MP for Rochester and Strood Mark Reckless - announced his defection to the party at UKIP's annual conference in Doncaster.[158] On 30 September 2014, Richard Barnes, the Deputy Mayor of London until 2012, joined UKIP.[159] On 7 October 2014, it was announced that Alan Craig, the leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance from 2004 to 2013, had applied to join the party.[160]

So when did HISTORY begin?
You admit that there are 4 different cultures in Britain but surely those cultures are made up of different cultures in them selves?

Just curious, as we went into all this during school back in the 90's (although I have done a good deal of my own reading over the years) but I do know that during the Labour years, British history in the Curriculum was often watered down, or only focused on the bad bits of the Empire rather than delving deeper because it wasn't PC to learn the good bits.
