The third lesson is about Europe. People feel cheated by the political classes. They were told they were joining an economic community and they ended up in a political union.
They were promised a say on further integration, and the integration took place without their consent.
The EU was supposed to make our country more prosperous, but the taxes and burdens it imposes risks pricing our continent out of the world economy.
So I understand why the public are sceptical of politicians bearing new promises.
It is our task over the next year to convince them that we will deliver. That the decisive In-Out referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU will happen.
David Cameron could not have been clearer. The Conservatives will not form a Government, he will not be the Prime Minister, unless that referendum is assured.
We’ve left ourselves no wriggle room. We need to convince the public of that.
We need them to understand that the only what that referendum on the EU will be achieved is with the Conservatives in Government. That it requires David Cameron and not Ed Miliband as Prime Minister.

The same can be said for UKIP, like The Greens, only a few people actually want UKIP as a Majority Government. Most people, from most walks of life, are voting UKIP because other parties haven't and won't deal with problems like Immigration(Not Immigrants!) and the EU(Not Europe!). With the 3 main parties not willing to deal with these issues, it has caused the UK not only to have its own immigration Policy, but an unfair one. Also, with the uncontrolled mass immigration that we have had, it has givin multiculturalism a bad name and also put a burden on public Infrastucture i.e Houseing lists, School places, NHS and crime, and inreturn making communities suffer.
It's high time something was done about it!

We're out of here come September so good luck with that.
Just as we had warned in the run-up to the European elections - and England's UKIP victory in local elections had suggested; Anti-European-Union parties are showing strongly in this weekend's elections. Anxiety is spreading among the status quo as Greece's anti-austerity party SYRIZA wins and perhaps even more worryingly in supposed core of the union France's Nationalist party is leading in a "political earthquake" success:
EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS MUST RESPOND TO CITIZENS' ANGER: VALLS
FRANCE'S VALLS SAYS 'SITUATION IS GRAVE FOR FRANCE, EUROPE'
DRAGHI SAYS PEOPLE VOTING ACROSS EUROPE ARE CLEARLY DISENGAGED
Disengaged? - or totally pissed off with promises that never materialize and wealth that only trickles down to the uber-richest and uber-elitest.
