Michael Fitzgerald, Ukip
My sole reason for supporting UKIP is that the EU is a disaster. My blinding light was way back in the late 70s/early 80s, having been involved in farming in Australia.
I saw the damage done to our royal friends there. Then, having cut off their markets, the Australians found new ones in the East.
Then the EU demanded new subsidies on those new markets.
We've given up our sovereignty, and small businesses and the self-employed pay the price with added bureaucracy and red tape. And our 'law industry' is doing quite a lot of damage, here with legislation, courtesy of the EU.
